Zeitgeist

Me thinks duh: "Tolstoy believed that leadership, like other things, was a "zeitgeist" and was a product of the social circumstances at the time. Thus, it was not the characteristics of the individual that resulted in leadership, but societal factors of the time that are out of the individual's control." #likeeverydisneymovie Not the best, but what we need. There are so many people that are talented who never get the leadership tag. Society is a picky bitch. Thus, when you think of leaders, you are guaranteed to be disappointed and rarely surprised. We must remember the power structures in which they also must operate. Tempting as violence and radical actions, these things do not catch fire unless the power engages in abject violence.
