Doing chores upon my father's bidding, I suddenly come accross the thought, "Dad does the ordering, I do the working. If I'm not around, is Dad the one doing it instead of ordering?" Why, of course.
Well, in a group, people usually need one of themselves to lead the others, or they get confused about what should be done next. If everyone does their own stuff as an individual, what good would a group be?
What I would despise though, is the way some leaders would abuse their authority, such as lording people about to fulfil every single whim. To me, things like that only concern certain fields - Eg. you may be my boss at work, but when we clock out, there's no reason for you to ask me polish your shoes (even if I had to during work).
As everybody knows, a leader only exist when he/she has others to follow him/her, so a leader should place his/her own welfare after - and only after - the welfare of others. Doing otherwise ensures you get deserted, to state the obvious.
Maybe that's why democracy is so popular - when you don't like the leader, get everybody else to throw him down (and probably putting yourself up in the progress).
Hmm...... Cool idea.
As a saying goes, "An empire is like a tree - a king's the treetop, the citizens the roots. without the roots, the tree would surely fall." Let's hope the little cliche you're leading stays standing - you know how to maintain it so.
