Precisely. We all have that power. And to take upon himself the job that all of his people was doing is 1) part of what's crushing him because honestly, who can shoulder that kind of burden, 2) extremely arrogant. The reasoning doesn't hold. They were a whole race, I don't know how many individuals, all with their flaws and virtues and strong points, and he only is the one individual. And if he truly thinks that he can do it, then why not wonder: what happens when he is gone? If that really is his ambition, and it's a noble one, what he should be doing? Is educate others.
But, yeah, I'm coming at this, again, with a Whedonian perspective. Joss never hesitated to question Buffy's right to be the One, for instance. And when he didn't or made her too right, I was right there complaining, too. ...okay so maybe I do that a lot. But I do that with much love!
