“The good ruler should not speak falsehood; he should be as great as his responsibilities. Each word should be weighed before spoken, for it is accepted as gold and not as thistledown. He should take heed of his own judgments, for the judgments of eternity draw near. He should be, above all, an example to all men. The gardener of wickedness waters his land with deceit, and it brings forth falsehood. The good ruler should be above every deed of meanness; he should be the father of the orphan and the husband of the widow. A true leader of the people should be free from every kind of avarice, a man above every kind of pettiness. He should be a man of wide vision. He should be like the rising waters that feed the fertile fields. He should be swift and sure to execute judgment on him, to whom punishment is due. O where does he sleep today, in what generation will he come forth?”
-The Kolbrin Bible (MAN:34:70)
A good leader does not speak lies. That doesn’t just mean that he refrains from telling stories that are complete fabrications; it also means he doesn’t tell partial truths, which is another way to lie. There are exceptions to this rule, as there are to almost all rules. You don’t tell a person they are ugly or stupid, even if it is true. Sometimes, good manners override the need to tell the truth. It is also necessary, especially today, for governments to keep some things secret, as revealing them to the general public can be dangerous. The quote says should weigh every word before it is spoken, “for it is accepted as gold”. In other words, it is assumed that the leader doesn’t lie. Once that assumption is proved false, the leader may never be trusted again.
While in a sense, it is only God who can judge us, a leader must judge people who behave poorly, or appoint judges to do it for him. As the quote indicates, the leader will die one day and be subject to the judgment of God’s Law, so he must judge others fairly.
A good ruler doesn’t act one way while expecting others to act differently. The good ruler acts as he expects others to act. If a ruler is frequently looking for ways to mistreat certain groups of people because of their religion, race, color, etc., He should not be surprised if people look on him the same way. If a ruler looks for ways to steal the natural resources of other nations, he should not be surprised when other nations try to steal the resources of his nation. If a ruler tries to find reasons to start wars, he should expect others to do the same to his land.
There was a time when kings and other leaders did not deal in avarice. In the past century, we have seen several leaders overthrown or assassinated because of their avarice. Yet that has not stopped modern leaders in several countries from being full of avarice. The good leader also avoids all forms of pettiness and does not react with anger when someone disagrees with him or makes a joke about him.
A good leader should be a man of wide vision. That means more than just a wide vision of what is happening in the world on the physical level, but also he must have vision of the spiritual. This means that the good leader must be spiritually developed, or at least must have trusted advisors who are spiritual leaders.
