Got vision?

Without a vision the people perish.

When the dreams die, so, in a sense, does the body (of believers). It gives up and falls back on tradition (whatever tradition it knows and feels comfortable with at the moment). It lives in the past.

You've probably known, or at least seen or heard of, someone old who lives in the past. Maybe they gave up, maybe they've become senile. But they no longer dwell in the present, they no longer look to the future, they no longer make an impact. They become self-absorbed. No longer care-givers, they need to be cared for, or they wither and die.

Without a vision the people perish.

(If not, go talk to the vision giver!)
