There's a better way. Let's learn from history instead of repeating it.

It needs leaders who have a clear vision, a determination to succeed, the
ability to communicate and inspire and/or accurately reprimand others, etc.
And for it to be a community that doesn't quickly crumble in time they also
need to have integrity, morality and charity. History proves this in many
ways too.

The same rules apply to businesses, corporations, universities, churches,
families, towns, nations, etc., etc.

Being nice and satisfied are two totally different things.
