We are in a world where, they say, there is a dearth of Role models or examples. In fact, any crisis in morality is attributed to a crisis in the presence of Role models. Examples or models are wanted, so that people could almost mimic them to mend their ways and follow the code of conduct traditionally handed down by different settings. But the question is, do we need examples or Role models, so that we could do or be exactly like them or do we need them, so that just as they were truly themselves, we could be encouraged to be just ourselves?
Congratulations! You write great!!!
RispondiEliminaYou are quite true when you say that we need role models whose presence would encourage us to be just ourselves. As Rene Girard would say when you try to imitate someone and try to be that person one thing that naturally erupts is violence. Rene Girard is one on whom I did my MPh Disseration. And I am proud to say that you are one of the few role models in my life... and thanks for being the same...
