The responsibility of leadership is often to rise above the base instincts of the electorate and go against the popular view. Short thread.
Leadership must rise above base instincts of ethnicity, sexism, ageism, religious intolerance, racism, and all manners of discrimination.
Leadership must rise above all manners of discrimination, and protect minority rights, including disability, sexual orientation, young & old
At at all times, leadership must seek a higher purpose and hold the moral high ground, whether or not that is popular with the people.
Pursuing better humanity thus asks the leader a soul searching question: Which do you want more: power or a better world? End of thread.
