Since then, I've observed that a charismatic personality who's willing to take risks only for personal gain does not make a good leader.

From the moment of birth, when the stone-age baby confronts the twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence, called love, as its mother and father have been, and their parents and their parents before them.
