Ideas over leaders


Human History is full of figures and leaders some lead to a better life others paved the way to hell. From Kings, presidents and prime ministers to religious. I believe it's a myth that the world needs leaders instead of ideas, from where I see it world leaders act like fathers to their followers and sometimes in some parts in the world from idolizing a leader it make him a god or whatsoever. Ideas and hopes are a total different story cause ideas can be immortal unlike leaders.

I'm not against leadership and inspiring at all, some people need someone to look up to to be better but no one will be here forever but their ideas can live forever, in 1968 MLK died and his gone from this world but his ideas live to this day and probably it's one of the reasons that america has it's first African american president. Gandhi once said We must be the change we wish to see in the world. now that's what leaders for to inspire others, but assuming our role models and people we look up to are never wrong is where this can get dangerous your leader is not the Shepherd and we are not sheep.

Tolerance, world peace, hope and equity are all ideas that lived long you might find leaders embracing those but no one care who "invited" or first ask for those that's because ideas overs leaders. who should introduce ideas to the world? absolutely anyone can but someone with a lot of followers saying the same idea can get it alive and that's how leaders make ideas instead of ideas making leaders. The answer is people's awareness to filter ideas and pick the ones they like inspire of who's saying it, take fashion for a simple example if a huge world wide superstar starts a weird fashion trend people tend to copy that just cause their idol are doing it.

Negative leaders caused a lot of pain to this world from a Nazi Hitler and the death of millions in world war two to other dictators around the world and the Arab spring is the current example of that. Yet people still think changing a president Democratic or republican  or whatever people should be feared by their leaders not the other way around this way a president will be a real civil servant to his country.

Although I believe that corporations run this world I still believe in "Power To The People" but those people got to have a certain level of education and coexistence abilities so democracy won't turn to absolute chaos.
