The Buffalo Springfield, For What It's Worth (Live At Monterey Pop Festival 1967)- the Flower Child

You can TELL, if you are looking with the right set of 'eyes', that the man behind this badge (aka SHIELD to protect you, all the protection you need if you live up to its ideals) is a GOOD WISE LOVING BRAVE FATHER LIONHEART; you can see it clearly on his face, in his eyes, in his bearing. Takes an IMMENSE and AMAZING amount of COURAGE, LOVE, TRUTH, WISDOM, RESTRAINT, DISCIPLINE to walk the razor's edge and be a HERO cop/soldier/father/general.. Like learning to ride a unicycle on a tightrope while juggling at times, and you have to expect that they will fall sometimes.. If we want our Fathers to listen to us, we must show them that we can listen to them first, understand the lessons they are trying to teach us, that we can follow the rules they lay down for us with the best of our ability, and when we think they might be getting something wrong and not being just and wise we must CIVILLY and RESPECTFULLY and with LOVE show the courage not to sneak around behind their back, but to stand up to them and CIVILLY RESPECTFULLY showing that you see they are trying to help, SHOW them that you are trying to see the TRUTH they are telling us, SHOW the HUMILITY to realize that maybe you are misunderstanding, show APPRECIATION and that you see the good difficult work they are trying to do to find the courage to QUESTION (NOT assert with arrogance) and help them see things from a different point of-you.
