Virtues

Troublemaking

28 Views

Parents, humbly listen to this challenging message-

we are often taught to raise our children to obey.

But understand this—obedience, though prized in quiet times,

is not a virtue in the face of oppression.

In a time where power serves itself, not the people,

it is defiance, not compliance,

that becomes the mark of the good.

 

Courage and thoughtful rebellion

are the virtues demanded of those who stand against injustice.

To teach your children simply to follow

is to risk raising them to serve those who do wrong.

In these times, the brave must be willing to dissent,

and the wise must question what is handed down from above.

 

Parents, know this—

the good guys are troublemakers.

In a world bent by unearned power,

those with courage will not sit quietly.

They will not accept the chains,

nor bow to the whims of those who rule unjustly.

Where others stand still, content with their fate,

the good will rise,

their defiance born of integrity and faith.

 

Understand this:

In times of chaos, the good bring order.

But in a world of overbearing control,

where unjust hands tighten their grip,

it is the good who dissent,

who disrupt the calm of complacency.

Polite obedience,

when power is corrupt,

serves only the oppressor.

True virtue does not sit idle while wrongs are enforced.

 

The heroes will push against the established order,

for it is only the brave who challenge a broken system.

They will be called troublemakers, extremists, rebels, and radicals—

but remember, in a world gone astray,

those who stand still are not the righteous.

It is the ones who disrupt, who shake the foundations,

who bear the sacred flame of goodness of the soul
