The attractiveness of Deformity

First of all, I thought that it was really funny to see how the most deformed of the Yahoos would be the leader of the pack. As absurd as it sounds, we can certainly interpret it to our society, and specially as teenagers I guess. Why? Because leadership in groups is not related to the beautiful characteristics or virtues. For instance, the leader is not the smartest one, and in most of the cases, certainly not the most correct person. Instead, If you take a look at women for example, the ones that lead the pack are probably the stuck up bithches who feel better than the rest, and thus expect a special treatment from the rest. If this isnt deformed, then what is?

We are certainly led by the wrong morals and desires and even though people are aware of this, they arent willing to make a change. I guess that we act like this because we are led by wrong examples. We want it all, and we measure superiority in spite of how much we've fulflilled our desires. In fact, this concept doesnt even apply exclusively for teens. Take a look at Hitler for example, he wanted the power, the control, and revenge. He was willing to do this by all means necesarry and take a look at how much people that followed him. He was certainly the most deformed of the pack... It is surprising to see how Swift, such a long time ago was able to portray our human behaviour. Either he was too smart, or we havent changed and we keep doing the same mistakes that we've been doing for the past millenia.
