Why do you think that leadership and authority need to be in place of power? What do you think about bad and good leadership? Should a bad leader still be in power if they still have goodness inside of them? If you were a leader of something/certain position, what would put into place to be a good leader and what if power got inside your head, what would happen to you and your position? Could you still have hope of still staying in power? What do you think of an leader that could be both good and have a corporate greedy heart if possible to fit into their position and as a person?

You don't have to be a powerful person. If yoy're a good leader, power comes as a reward for it.
Just gotta think in good leaders like Mandela or bad leaders like Hitler to know what is each one of them capable of. Both have a natural talent to be a leader but of course, they have completly different intentions and both of them kinda changed the world in some way.
Good thing is that you choose who is your leader, is not like a dictatorship. Sadly some people agree with bad leader's ideals and that's when things go to hell lol.

Quote from Camilabad leaders like Hitler
Define your terms. He was an outstanding leader, in the sense that he inspired great (sometimes fanatical) loyalty in a nation of eighty million souls, and got them to follow him pretty much without question.
Of course, he led them in directions which were utterly reprehensible. But that was because he was a bad man, not a bad leader.

Yeah Hilter was one bad man. In my opinion an evil man.

As bad as Hitler was, he did get Germany out of a really bad depression, and he did a lot of good for his country.
And he did kill Hitler so you got that going for him

Actually he was a terrible leader. He just had awesome PR.
But yeah I get that Cami meant to say "bad" as in evil, not "bad" as in u suck brah
Conversely, some of the greatest leaders are also flawed. We don't know for sure, but Mandela might've had an agenda. Abe Lincoln was actually an asshat, but we will never get to see that side of him because of the death in his prime. Gandhi and everyone in that era were actually racist fucks. This was a time when being racist against blacks were acceptable and the norm. So Gandhi was just doing the cool thing.

I don't know Exilement. For all we know, he can be a divorced father of one with an over protective ex wife and is questioning his religion while trying to find a pro-bowl selection record (whatever the fuck that means).
I think I just found a new hobby.

A history book would be a good place to start.

Hitler was a fantastic leader. He was totally fucked in the head, but whatever.

Why did he want to kill so many innocent people?

Why did Zeus transform into a bull and rape a mortal woman?
Some shit just doesn't make any sense.

hahahah you piqued my curiosity and I just found my new favorite line from Wikipedia because of it:
"The mythographers tell that Zeus was enamored of Europa and decided to seduce or ravish her, the two being near-equivalent in Greek myth"

He was fond of poly-morphing himself and then having sexual intercourse.
I mean, I can't say I wouldn't if I could.
