He lead his 'society' but society is supposed to lead him. And, in the end it did. His society was not the world's society though he tried to make it that way.

I meant to say you should do what makes you happy as LONG AS IT DOES NOT INFRINGE ON SOMEONE ELSE'S RIGHTS.

Society is supposed to lead him? (What about Caesar?)

Furthermore, what is this "world's society" concept? (what if you were born 500 years ago, the world would be different then?)

Lastly, what are these rights people have, are they natural rights from birth or society constructed?
