Summary/Abstract: This paper provides a conceptual explanation to a previous paper that I wrote, which demonstrates that a realist epistemology generates better social outcomes than empiricist and subjective idealist epistemologies. Realism promotes social leadership by transforming each individual, enrichening personal wisdom, fostering individual and community values, promoting communities, based on discernment. This paper presents the role of realism, promoting social leadership, to build better lives and a better world. Realism improves the capacity of perception, developing values, integrating the persons and communities, integrating them with the superior being, generating processes of personal and community healing and transformation, promoting a better world, based on the social leadership of each agent. Realism and spirituality provide wisdom and strength to suffering people. Suffering is a reality that individuals and communities experience, as part of transformation process towards social leadership. Realism introduces the role of discernment as a richer criteria to build knowledge than the critical thinking proposed by subjective idealism.
