To be a Leader.

It's difficult to be a leader. You need to live upto expectations of all those follow you. And since they are not perfect (or why whould they choose you?), their aspirations too , at times would be unreasonable.
You don't know for sure, how much of their energies can be harnessed to achieve goals without that effort being called exploitation.
I used to dream about wars and leading armies. (like a zillion other kids) But I realise what a nearly impossible task it is.
You need to be in forefront of every battle. Or you would risk self criticism. (if you are like me , that is) You need to fight battles, you may not be ready for, or willing to for the sake of your followers.
At times you can't make peace with enemy even if conditions are ripe. Because you should live upto "Hero" image.
What do you get out of all this? Glory, fame,lack of peace of mind, hmm definitely material gains. What do you get if things go wrong? Life long infamy, lack of peace of mind,...Looks like a bad deal to me.
Who's focing you to be leader? None. Just allow to be lead by somebody. Follow orders. Get your daily ration. An risk dying anonymous.
Blue pill or red pill? I am tired, anything goes.
