I doubt anyone would argue that we live in 'interesting' times. A time full of political correctness, terrorist threats, and really sucky presidential candidates. And as I look through all of the news feeds, all of the internet memes and jabs, I have to wonder: why are the mice in charge?
Let's look at the profiles: Mice run from what they fear, keep to the shadows, lash out when they feel threatened and cornered, and squeak a lot in fear as well. They are generally known as timid creatures. Men, on the other hand, display bravery in spite of fear, are courageous enough to stand for what is right, remembers that we are the dominant species on this earth, and yet are humble enough to care for and do right by those around us and less fortunate than us.
There are plenty of both mice and men in our society, but it seems we have come to a time when the mice are in charge and squeaking louder than the men. These mice come in the name of peace, relying on their timid nature to carry them through, and soothing people by avoiding confrontation as much as possible. But now those mice need a reminder that they're not the top of the food chain. These mice wish to speak out and shame the men for being men. It hasn't solved anything. Our country needs men to lead it, not mice. Men are mature, mice are child-like. Men make tough choices and stand by them, while mice run and appease all they can.
Our country used to be run by men, but now these mice have made us victims. We are the prey. And the longer we let the mice lead the charge, we will be easy prey. It's time to let our men lead again; not to show our dominance, but to be humble stewards of the world and all of its peoples and creatures.
