These three elements of love have been grouped together because they are to a degree interrelated, although at first glance it may not seem so. Studied carefully, the words describe the characteristics of a great leader who understands and bows to the responsibilities inherent to good leadership.

Historically, the children of royalty were trained from birth to understand their place in the world and to accept the sacrifices and duties that came with the job, which was to serve the people. Were we to live in a perfect world, the same type of training would be given to every child who demonstrates leadership qualities respective of their social or economic status. Such schools would be a construct of a society that recognizes that the overall health and well being of any society is largely dependent on the leaders at every level from teachers to corporate heads to heads of state. In this perfect world leaders would be chosen both for their qualifications for the job and their proven ability to practice most, if not all, of the qualities listed here.

Since we do not live in a perfect world, we can individually work to make these qualities our own, whatever our role in society. We can also, when and where possible, do our part by choosing leaders that demonstrate these qualities.
