Leader

At times, a leader should be 'possessed' and take the crowd with him. If he stops and starts hearing opinions and options, there will be no action. Depending on whether the leader is good or bad, the crowd exalts or suffers. These two states are better than no-state. If the crowd suffers, then the next leader is born out of the suffering. No better learning in this world than suffering.

Thus, civilizations and nations evolve.

Next time you want to make a decision, remember this. Why do you worry about laying a wrong path when there is no path before in the first place?
