What Makes a Good Ruler of People .....

Postby Oracle » Sat Feb 23, 2008 12:26 pm

In days of old, the rules for good Rulers where summed up in the Trilogy:

1. Philia .... To have Soul and Motivate.
2. Sophia ....To have Temperance to allow Wisdom
3. Andreia .... To possess Courage as in Manhood

What attributes make a good Ruler for today's Modern World?


..... and may the best man win tomorrow :wink:

Oracle , you have indeed highlighted three virtues worthy of human admiration.
You could have all three of these rules adopted by having the courage and the wisdom , and the motivation to replace your signature !!!!

I have nothing against His "Hollowness Highness " , your Highness !!!
Just the intro of your signature , might confuse the uninitiated who may attribute that to His Hollowness !!
