POLITICS

Oh yes, the thing one would venture into, if one has one of these ambitions, namely wealth, power or service and goodwill to their fellow countrymen. Which one these does our politicians have, I wonder?

As one should know that to venture into this field, one must be very good in diplomacy as well as superior in their people skills, and ability to convince with speeches and "ceramahs". One must also be able to garner sufficient support both in terms of financing and physical supporters to even stand a chance.

I wonder whether an honest person who started out with high enthusiasm and spirit to serve the public can withstand the lure of the dark side that goes along with this field. How many in this field can truly proclaim themselves "saints" and "saviours"? Believe me, when I say the temptations are great, and so much of ones would be needed to survive this alluring sense of greed.

Anyway, as seen through out history many who have succeeded, will have short victories because there are unseen powers manipulating and controlling the scene which will soon be rid of them for their honesty. This is where the old saying of honesty gets you nowhere hold true.

As for me, I have zero interest in politics because to me all these people are just plain oscar winners with scripts that have been carefully compiled and practiced for their own benefits. I believe it matters not which parties of politicians are running the show, all have a common selfish goals. The only thing that is different is the lesser of the evils i.e. the level of selfishness inherent in these parties.
