Once a person realizes they can ONLY control their own thoughts and behaviors, they can begin to at least change themselves from the inside out. If everyone had the will, and the strength to do that, things would be different. However, the majority prefer to give away their power to someone else.
At this point, there is too much of an imbalance in those that are "morally responsible" vs. the hierarchy model, of needing "Leaders." Those models have basically set up a system where we give away our control.
Unfortunately, those that end up being chosen to lead, become intoxicated with their own power. Those who may once have been "worthy," just become greedy and self-serving. Then everybody looks around and wonders why they were misled or fooled, but they forget that they created those monsters themselves, by giving them all of their power, and by putting a mere human being on too high a pedestal.
Moral ambiguity will continue to divide, causing those seeking power over others, an open door to lead.
So, personally, I dislike and reject the term "LEADER." Perhaps these good men described above can be considered as "Pioneers" or "Trailblazers."
We definitely need more of those that seek to "serve humanity" rather than to "lead" anybody.
Sorry, I get carried away on these topics... I'll stop!
Peace!
