Corrupt Guidance in Society

In a world full of people, there's a system that rules in addition to humanity. That so-called system is “Hierarchy”. Humans are not stable without any equality and decency for each other as minds unfortunately can not afford to think alike. So hierarchy was born, where there were groups of groups of people with different status. The highest of the high was leaders. Ones who held authority of even the slightest fraction and withstood delegations with compassion. They are supposed to guide people to the right path and lead them towards a future with hope.
Leaders are not something one should condemn—as they are absolute necessity in a society as treacherous as this. Though, there are quite a few exceptions, as sometimes leaders are far more malevolent than the concept of life itself. Leadership was not something a person could hold at birth—people have to struggle, work, and fight for the title itself. Despite all those systematics, people have made a loophole just to gain control and influence on their own behalf, no one else's.
They slowly but surely degenerate into something that people did not recognize as a fit leader anymore, but a creature who strived for jurisdiction at every moment. Losing control over themselves as they become obsessed with dominance and crave for something more, something even worse. Refusing to yield as disagreements come, disregarding every aspect of dispute, and especially indifferent towards social conflict. One mature enough should be able to see how dangerously risky it is for other human beings.
It is evident that people have truly lost the true intention of leadership. They suggest that we're under the assumption of how leadership is completely stable in their hands when it is clearly not. Nonetheless, they continue their act of rebellion and proceed to execute rules against people's own words. This further worsens the situation and in the end only makes things go even more downhill.
We, as a creature with a consciousness, need to see and realize just how much difficult this is for society as a whole. Recognizing leadership as a mere position is one, but recognizing it as a threat is a whole other predicament. This isn't just something we ourselves can solve easily. Each individual person needs to realize this in their own way—they need to realize that power isn't everything in the world.
