We dont have to be anything. Kindred apparently proved it with quantum physics. We are creators of ourselvs inwhich the world is the reflection of.
We are social people. Naturally very social, but dont you think leaders devide our species? We have many false gods and many leaders we follow. Money, machines, technology, authority, media, politics, government, etc.
All those things are destroying the Earth along with the entire human species. Are we destined to kill ourselvs no matter what we do? No, i dont believe that and I also dont believe that we need leaders. The indains and many "primitive" cultures have no leaders. They may have a shaman, but hes not issueing orders out to anyone. He is simply someone that they respect and take advice from.
You can have someone to look up to. Maybe someone whose oppinion you may value, but no one should have the right to order your life and create the rath of God. Which doesnt truly exist in the first place... I believe in God, but there is no judgement or punishment. No one is guilty.
I believe a leader tries to replace God. Yeah I said it. Sound absurd to you? Sound crazy? Well thats probably because your a slave... Yeah said that too.

The difference between someone you respect and a leader is that the leader has manifested the wrath of God upon you.

A leader establishes authority over other people. If you do something wrong according to the commandments of the leader you will be punished. Manifesting the wrath of God.
Someone you respect is only there as a guide, not a commander.
