On the Nature of Politicians & Leaders

If all people are considered equal in ability, and fundamentally respected as such, it seems hardly necessary for a small group of individuals to represent them. It makes no difference whether this is politically, religiously, spiritually, etc. To imply the necessity of a leader is to deny a person the basic level of respect that every human being deserves.

If there's a problem in a society, the people and the community, above all, would be the ones to understand it as it principally effects them. As such, they should be the ones to find the correct solution.

It is ineffective and ridiculous to believe that a politician has the ability to supersede the common wisdom of both the people and the individual.
