You yourself admitted that Hakuryuu wouldn't make a very intelligent or wise leader so I am not really getting into this further.Originally Posted by Kraco
Maybe you think that way but I certainly don't. A confident fool as a leader of a nation to me is the worst thing imaginable because they will constantly make the wrong choices and delude themselves in to believing that the decisions they make are right without second guessing themselves.If I hadn't got anything better to do, I'd take the confident fool. A confident fool still could get something done, even if they ended up dead in the process, but an unsure fool would just sit on their hands. If I did have something better to do, I'd also take the unsure one, so that they wouldn't get in the way.
Yeah that sounds nice but it really doesn't mean anything. Who is to say a person can't start out foolish and become wise with time and experience? Just because the person had the capacity to learn from their mistakes doesn't mean they couldn't have started out as a fool. I never realized one of the pre-requisites of being a fool were that you could never break out of that pattern.Besides, if an unsure fool was willing to learn, they wouldn't be a fool in the first place...
