Ravana kept the honour & repute of Sita in his own kingdom & maintained his integrity too. It was undeniably a good moral conduct which a man like him unveiled. He did all wrong, but ancient texts also evinced him as the greatest disciple of Shiva, a knowledgeable being, which was acknowledged by all. Won't be wrong in conducing that he had Values. And Values can neither be taught nor preached. Its not what one can read in text books & score A++. Now only time travel would unlock the mystery, in future. Till then, it's an ancient fact. But what's the relevance of it in my blog?
No doubt, it's arduous to run any organization & more onerous to lead a Nation. As long as "the way forward" is on his/her mind! But not a myth, accountability is never of one Leader alone. His success or debacle depends upon the quality of republic inhabits that land. Quality in terms of Thoughts. In terms of Trust Level. Transparency. Contentment. Commitment. Support for Autonomous Metal Beings & Cosmos Exploration :)
Unused honesty has no significance. FACT! And when exists Trust selfsame to when you board a train or plane unworried, knowing you would reach your destination irrespective of personally knowing the engineer or pilot. A trust that if a train is passing through the jungle, in the midst, you won't be asked to vacate the train & traverse alone to cover the remaining journey with uncertainty, Dead or Alive! Then such trust kindles the future prospects of any nation.
Doesn't matter if the Leader by conduct is arrogant or smug, Politically Incorrect, ruthless or rude; as long as the Leader(s) never acts on the behest of someone who dwells behind any hood, as long as he/she keeps the honour & repute of the republic, as long as the Administration & Leader(s) respect DEMOCRACY, as long as the Leader(s) denounce nepotism, contrived pragmatism, maintain integrity, disavow unwanted & never ending bureaucracy, shed restricted stratagems, who can be trusted by other nations & individuals: The future of that Nation is SECURED. And then, the conduct do not matter.
Thence, even though Ravana had embraced bad conduct; ancient texts also projected him as one of the greatest disciple. And this is just an exemplar.
You, the original Leader, doesn't matter if you are rude, ruthless, smug or politically 'in'correct; If you, the original Leader, venture on the uncharted paths to achieve the herein supra mentioned objectives, then you, the original Leader, shalt be remembered by the history as one of the greatest leader, in the future :)
