No desire to be politician

I have never had any inclination to become a politician. Even attempts to get involved in or participate in political organizations were buried early on, and after that I did not seek a position, contented with the success I achieved in my work, and sitting in the back rows, enjoying my position as an observer.

Politics means courtesy, hypocrisy, and often a lot of hypocrisy, or what we call compliment, and this is the practice of everyone, but it is more obvious with politicians, or what politics imposes on them, and this is a common custom in all countries of the world, and the difference lies only in the degree of exacerbation of this or that hypocrisy courtesy from one community to another.

George Orwell said: “A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims … but accomplices.”

One of the things that bothers me personally in politics is an increase in the dose of the decision-makers exposure to the dilemma of choosing between alternatives or multiple options, the best of which is bitter, and it is a dilemma that every person is exposed to, but his choices usually affect him, but the choices of the politician, others are affected more strongly by them, and the fate of an entity or a state, or millions of individuals, is decided.

What makes me laugh the most about politics is the opinions and conclusions of the so-called “political observers,” especially those who insist or enjoy putting the letters Dr in front of their names, and whose analyses, or those of their strategic centers are often funny and far from reality.

If any of these people had tried to read what they had previously analyzed or predicted, they would have laughed at the mediocrity of their opinions, and many of them might have thought about retiring, but the lights of the media have their attractive luster for some.

Among the most critical political positions, requiring hypocrisy and diplomacy, or polite mastery of lying, are the positions of foreign officials, diplomats in general, official spokesmen, and the media, especially in dictatorial regimes, who are often asked to repudiate their previous statements, and issue something completely contrary to them or denying it and be satisfied with remaining silent, because the leader or the one and only leader did not feel comfortable with it.

Politics is also the art of the possible, and disagreements occur between politicians, and subsequently between the armies and peoples of their countries, not only in order to achieve the ambitions or greed of a party, but also because of hatred or personal enmities.

If we review the history of many events and wars, we would be surprised by the insignificance of the reasons behind them, which led to the loss of tens or hundreds of thousands of lives, and other huge material losses.

We also find that countries are hostile to each other on one issue but stand in solidarity in international forums on one issue or other issues, and this is what we saw in the Syrian civil war, in which the forces of underdevelopment and darkness almost took over the government.

Parties hostile to each other come together in one trench, either with this party or with the other, they support this party here and oppose it in another battlefield, and so on. After all of this, do politics have religion or morals?
