For most people you are right. But in every group large enough there are a few who always want more and who don&#x27;t think as much about the risk. I&#x27;d argue that Alexander himself also was such a person. If you offered him nice conditions for his submission and a low chance to succeed by fighting, do you think he would have submitted?<p>And what about days when not everything is well and nice? Drought, famines, storms, sickness. When something irritating happens people tend to blame leaders. Suddenly the situation doesn&#x27;t feel nice, no matter what you do as a leader. What do you do then? Go home and stop leading?<p>Just think about us. We probably live in the richest, most peacefully, culturally most widely developed time of human history, yet we don&#x27;t feel happy about it. Many people would argue that another leader might be better for them than the current one. So I would argue that even if one lives a happy, good life, one is not so happy about it to fully trust the leader.
