Andromeda: The Leader of Men

"You're human. You always have been, and you always will be. You've seen it all. You've seen every beginning and every ending there is. You've seen the greatest empires rise out of nothing and change everything, only to collapse back into nothing. You've seen the lives of millions and deaths of trillions. You've lost all that there possibly is to lose. All of your civilizations, all of your families, and all of your leaders. Humans by nature exist to create conflict, and have done only so as they have existed. Thousands of generations lived and suffered to bring you and the rest of the world to where you are. But don't despair just yet; because the leaders you know aren't your presidents or your kings. Your real leaders live in the shadows, behind every scene, and behind every conflict. Your leaders don't guide us out of conflict, but merely unite us in continuing it.But we were not born with those rules in stone.Our old ways need not be killed or burnt into nothing. The old ways will destroy themselves.Let them die. Let the rest of those who follow them continue to fight each other. Take your turn in the shadows, and stand back as your supposed leaders tear each other apart in the conflicts they have propagated and upheld for as long as you have been human.For the true leader of men is not a guide; but is one who waits."
