>>21349467orthobro here. some of the early saints of the church were roman citizens of status who literally sold themselves into slaver voluntarily (roman law allowed this) just so they could put themselves under the obedience of another. we have examples of more recent saints and monastics who, lacking anyone to command them, would simply find some random small child and put themselves under the child's authority, letting them order them around
of course, this sounds cucked to us because it's the opposite of the wisdom of this world which tells us that the highest goal in life is to be the boss nigger and rule the world. but this world is passing away and the wisdom of God is diametrically opposed to the "wisdom" of the world. Christ tells us that the first shall be the last in His Father's kingdom (matthew 19:30)
