Despite what media would like to imply, we are not meant to live alone. So like most herd/pack/troop animals, we will sit and watch while the stronger pack members sort out the hierarchy and let the majority, who really just want to live without stress, know the direction the group is supposed to go, not to mention what it means to be part of the group.

However, if a shitty leader type bubbles up and takes over the pack, it's a disaster for everyone.

Had to edit to finish the sentence that sort of hung out there.
