What is it in a person that makes them want to be led in times of trouble?

What is it that makes them default to someone higher in rank than them?

Do they think that person is smarter?

Braver?

More experienced?

Somehow more qualified to lead?

They want someone's guidance. So they turn to those above them.

But are those people always qualified to lead?

To give advice?

To help?

Or do they sometimes lead others astray?

Who is above you?

Are you turning to them in times of trouble?

Will they really be able to help you?
