"'Under the right leadership.'" Ghanima couldn't help the bitter tone that colored her words. "Who chooses that? Me? You? Then we're no better than the oppressors you seem to dislike so much. If humanity is ever to realize their own potential, they have to outgrow their messiahs."
Including her father. Even turning their backs on Leto, the ungrateful creatures. Tyrant. Her-Leto had shared that part of his vision with her and laughed, but Ghanima could see how much it hurt him.
"My family has a gift," she explained, lacing her fingers together. "Should we dare to use it, that is. We can stand at the center and see all possible futures."
"I think you can see why I would rather put the future in the hands of all humans, rather than a select few." The possibility for abuse, for humans to become too dependent on being told what to do rather than self-choice, for worse suffering was too high. "They must learn to act, not react, or absolute future becomes absolute death."
