Kindness

Don't miss out on kindness. Allowing yourself to feel it and receive it.
Don't mistake greediness for kindness because it will ruin you.
Know who the people are that keep you going because they believe in you and end relations with the rest because in the end they won't matter anyway.

With power comes the chance for greatness but it is not a given result. It is a fight and determination and an incredible sense of resistance.
Unfortunately for "we the people" true greatness is rarely shown in our world leaders because the people aiming for power with heart do not always make it all the way with their hearts intact.
It is a given that the road to success is beyond hard and keeping a clear head is next to impossible but it can be done.
There are no studies to support my views, they are just observations and interpertations.
May it be foolish to even say this but it is true "with great power comes great responsibility". Maybe it's easier when the rule applies in fiction but it's sad that it does not reflect in the real world.
In a way the men and women (though rare) that rule our countries, our world, are supposed to be leaders, fair, equal and strong and protect our people, all of us. They are supposed to be superheroes.
Granted that values, religions, opinions and ideas vary but in the end is it really too much to ask of our world leaders to show us the way to kindness, to greatness and most importantly to respect? We will never evolve unless we work for it, unfortunately. All we really have do is ask ourselves: what if it were me? What if it were my friend, parent, sibling that the world has turned on for doing absolutely nothing but being themselves?
Would you still vote for a leader that wants them dead? Would you still ask your country to expose, hate, persecute, abuse or kill?

Power can lead to greatness but only if you truly want that. A great human being is not one who values some people's lives over other's. It is equality for all or none.
