Leadership vs. Parasitism

These lines caught my attention, and I believe I’ve come across them somewhere before:

Leadership vs. Parasitism: A Simple Distinction

• Parasite: If your success hinges on conspiracy, provocation, defamation, obstructing others with resources you possess, or taking shortcuts through manipulative channels (not necessarily political figures), then regardless of your level of influence, you are a parasite.

• Leader: Conversely, if your success is built on self-competition, empathy, spreading knowledge, and positivity, then no matter your position, you are a leader.

Defining Success: Success here isn't limited to money, power, fame, influence, or a following. It can include these elements, but it fundamentally relates to achieving peace and harmony within yourself—not at a superficial level driven by desires, but deeply rooted in your subconscious.

Navigating Life's Cross Currents: No matter who you are, the interplay between these two approaches is inevitable, shaped by the molds we find ourselves in.
