The People and their responsibility

One of the main mistakes leaders make is that they lock themselves up in a bunker and forget about the rest of which matters to them. They lose sight of what assisted them in acquiring their titles in the first place and they also overlook the little things that matter to the mass which helped get where they are. However, my ignorance in this matter halts me from elaborating on what leaders should be looking at and how they should be handling certain matters. What I do know is this: Leaders are afraid of the people. Deep down in them, leaders have a conscience cautioning them what the impact of their decisions may have on the people; mainly if those decisions will cause a chaos amongst their people who may turn against them eventually. It is this fear which has most Leaders on their toes, which has them backstabbing each other and which has them committing the most despicable of acts to maintain at the top. In other words, greed for power breeds fear. This greed blinds the Leaders, having them disillusion of what is important to them consequently they forget to cooperate with those who matter. As a result, the realization that something must be done amongst the people should be encouraged.

The fact is there is a way round this and it mainly lies in you - the people. Your leaders can only do so much to better your condition and your surroundings. If you do not take the initiative to improve your selves, then how can you expect your leaders to help you? The progress of a nation and its country lies in the hands of its nation, meaning you. If you do not progress then your country will be stuck in its present condition and not advance any further, in fact it will be in shambles in the long run. It is only when you work towards improving yourself, only then your country will move forward. With this also, you will provide your leaders with something to work on to either improve the country’s progress be it economically or socially, or change whatever systems are there to change to keep you, the nation, happy, and at the same time steering the country in the direction it should be heading.

Your leaders are only your supervisors overseeing what you want run smoothly or better. If you do not voice or show what you want or how you want something to be taken care of, meaning if you do not show your leaders you are worthy of their attention, they are not going to care about you. Even the most genuine of leaders will be patient up to a point, after which they will take it for granted not only are you happy and contented with your present situation but you are also self-developing. Here you are not only deceiving your leader but also yourself especially if you are not happy with your situation and not self-developing in anyway. Eventually, the ones on the losing end are you, the ones you love, and those who depend on you. So then, do not blame the government you choose but blame your selves. If you do not help your selves, how can you expect others too, even if they are the slightest bit obligated to you? Each individual is responsible over his/her own actions. Do not expect anyone with authority to define your worth or value or your significance in this life. It is all down to you.

And Leaders should sharpen their listening and thinking skills.
