I'm writing this inspired by the conversations I had with several different groups of people the other day. I said to everybody that the difference between a politician and an activist was that politicians tried creating coalitions and organizers had their jobs of riling everybody up and fighting for their cause. Folks acted like this was such a deep, genius realization and thanked me for the observation. And now I'm thinking, maybe I can guide great people, great leaders towards greater aspirations, into higher positions. Hanging with politically inclined folks in such activist circles already makes it quite likely that one will have spent time with at least one future politician or more.
Maybe, it's possible, I don't have the temperance for becoming a great political leader. I mean I might, but there's a chance the world is not ready for this kind of leadership. It won't be a big deal if that were to be a case then, since I will get to be the political mind, the ideologue, the theorist and the political philosopher driving and inspiring the great leaders. Like a consiglieri whispering into a great don's ears, I will be able to mold the world to my vision without having to acquire the skills to actually win elections. Oh, a behind-the-scene political broker, who can shape the future and decide who might win and who might not, who could lead and who could not? Yeahhh, I like the concept, I'd like that very much, thank you!
