The morals of leaders
Most of the leaders stress the concept of good and bad, but is most prominent in Zarastrianism. Zorothustra believed that there was a certain right and wrong, and based on that you would either be punished or rewarded. He believed everything derived from opposites, and they all led back to good and evil. Jesus was similar in his beliefs, but on a less extreme side. He didn't believe in hating your enemies, rather forgiving them, and treating them well. He beleived that if you did that then you would be rewarded. Good and bad are also seen with Confucius and Socrates. Daoism and Buddhism are more involved with equality and moderation. There shouldn't be excess of anything, or the opposite. Hinduism is similar, but it focuses mainly on knowing your place in life, and doing everything you can to fulfill that goal without having emotional attachments. An after life is apparent in some of these religions, so in order to reach heaven, one must be good, and faithful. The leaders who beleived this include Jesus and Zarathustra. Buddhism, Hinduism and Socrates believed in reincarnation.
