“The moment anyone tries to demean or degrade you in any way, you have to know how great you are. Nobody would bother to beat you down if you were not a threat.” —Cicely Tyson
Have you noticed that when someone brings a new idea that has a potential to change the status quo that they are immediately attacked by those who are in control? I imagine y’all can think of countless examples of this phenomenon.
Most of the time these innovators, whether social or technology based, threatened those who were in control or were the market leaders.
This reminds me of a passage in Scripture where the Apostle Paul went into a city synagogue and preached the Gospel using the Old Testament to prove his case. The leaders in that city wouldn’t try to argue against the Scripture that he used to prove his beliefs or attempt to show him WHERE he was wrong in his interpretation. On the contrary, they didn’t like the result, i.e. that the leaders were no longer in control of the town’s people, that many left the old ways to follow the new way.
I find this fascinating to think about.
Be careful out there!
