Leaders Don’t Dominate

The Devil in us wants to dominate as by dominating it believes you will stay firm forever. Wouldn’t you also get grounded then?

What good is domination if it does not help others fly or float?

True leaders, as against, stay away from the will to dominate. As dominating breeds slaves. And slaves cannot imagine, cannot think, cannot bring forth ideas. Perhaps cannot breathe on their own.

Liberation is intrinsic to humanity. A liberated can see beyond the boundaries. A liberated can think beyond. A liberated can imagine the unheard, the unknown and the unseen. In the pursuit of that a liberated can deal with the impossibilities and turn them real.

Liberated human beings may astray and go in several directions. That is when a leader sets forward a goal, a mission, or simply a possibility. And that’s when the leadership works. It simply gives a sense of a direction.

Dominating is collecting a mass of slaves. Slaves who cannot on their own work. Those who cannot work for themselves, can never work beyond.

It is that spirit of detaching from slavery that has given the world freedom to be and to be recognised free in the modern world. In the 21st century.

21st century is a test for how you engage freedom. How you work upon the freedom. And the choices you make.

And its worst choice is that I am free so I can do whatever. Hey, you are a leader.

As a leader you would drive your freedom towards a direction so that many others can see the vision and wish to take a role in that direction. Freely and indomitably. As they come together the possibilities work faster, better, crisper.

But there is an indomitable divide here. Between the dominance based less developed people and the dominance ridden advanced humanity.

The role of freedom gets challenging against that background when the fight intensifies between what works better. More so as the world of the 21st century gets closer, touching one another against boundaries. Domination contests with liberation. Opening up a multitude of possibilities of compromises between the two.

You may be totally liberated but if the bloke on the other side is dominating, you may need to adapt. On the reverse side, the dominating would need to see the perspective of the liberated, and adapt.

It mightily depends upon who leads in this contest. Tough to stay liberated faced against domination. Yet compromising on the liberation to deal with domination can can slowly and silently eat away the liberation. And may kill it too.

If the world must change, it must change for liberation, no matter how joyful the power of domination is.

As domination will help breed the rudimentary. And further breed the will to contest for the rudimentary.

Fight your will against the spirit of domination. Or you will lead the dominated. And soon you will be part of the dominated mass. Oh, how I would hate that!
