Agents of the Powerless

In history, there have been many powerful leaders that can be catrgorized into two main groups, Agents of the powerful and Agents of the powerless.   Agents of the powerless have a bigger impact then ones of power because they are remembered as moral people, connected to a greater good, and have peaceful intentions. 

Morals are usually thought as one of the most important things to have inside and outside a society.  Without morals, people would have no intention to do good or withhold themselves from doing wrong.   It is inhumane of a leader to preach their followers to do something that breaks human ideals.  In my opinion, being moral is big part of being a good leader, and it usually not seen in leaders of the powerful because of their want for power. 

Most Agents of the powerless has a deeper connection to a religion, society, or group of people.  Background and views is very important thing to have while being a leader of peaceful intentions.  Having more exposure to the world opens your eyes to different feelings of people.   Leaders that came from being poor, or from being rich, or from being harassed, or from harassing think in someone else’s shoes.  That is why they become popular to the people like them.  They are usually like the underdogs.

Through both these points comes the point of having peaceful intentions.  Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and the Dalai Lama have all preached for a peaceful society, no matter where in the world they are.  I think the Agents of the Powerless are more impacting and stronger because they are remembered for longer times.  Even though the Powerful obtain more power, the other half of people that they didn’t satisfy will seek a new leader to go against them.  There then becomes a constant theme of taking each other over and moving in circles.  That is why the Agents of the Powerless leave a better impact in the long run.
