In S.O.L.A.D.™: Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™, Book I of the Angelo and Angeline Chronicles, the character Wiseman J is forced to confront his overwhelming feelings of failure after a devastating event in his village.
As a leader, he reflects on the tragedy with deep sorrow, stating, "Sixty people dead in my village and on my watch!" This moment of vulnerability reveals the immense weight leaders often carry when they feel they have failed to protect those they serve. His cry is not just one of frustration, but of immense grief.
Wiseman J’s guilt is further revealed when he says, "The hope I gave wasn't even enough to hold a 10-year-old child." This heart-wrenching line speaks to the intense personal burden he carries, believing that the hope he offered was insufficient.
Yet, in the midst of his self-doubt, this scene serves as a poignant reminder that even the strongest leaders can falter, and sometimes, despite our best efforts, we cannot control the outcome.
This emotional moment encourages readers to understand that even in our darkest moments of doubt and guilt, hope is never truly lost. It teaches us that though leaders may feel the weight of their people’s suffering, hope and redemption are still possible.
