34. Sometimes the greatest leaders are those who had their leadership roles
thrust upon them. As in Campbell's "the Hero's Journey". Those who desire POWER are often corrupted by it, but those who become leaders because they heed a call are often the most effective. Gandhi didn't set out to lead his countrymen, he set out to end the oppression of his countrymen. If Gore stepped in now it would be to save and serve his party because it is being torn apart by followers in both camps.
