We Are Unchained’s Post

Hatred and unpopularity at the moment have fallen to the lot of all who have aspired to rule others; but where odium must be incurred, true wisdom incurs it for the highest objects. - Pericles (History of the Peloponnesian War, book 2, Late 430s BC to 411 BC) The quote highlights that leaders often face criticism and unpopularity, especially when making tough decisions. However, true wisdom involves accepting this backlash for the sake of higher goals. Modern leaders must prioritise long-term vision and ethical objectives, even if it means enduring temporary disapproval, to achieve meaningful and impactful outcomes.
