Politicians are not only in politics.
They’re in business, in academia, in the world of NGOs.
They’re an inevitability in life, no need to begrudge or bemoan.
Just don’t rely on them.
Politicians smell the wind and go with it.
They say what you want to hear.
They do nothing.
Don’t rely on a politician.
PS: By “politician” I don’t mean someone who works for the government or a political party. There are many amazing, honest, committed people that work in politics and the public sector. They are not “politicians”. Politicians are the types of people that blow with the wind, lie, and play games. You find them everywhere, including universities and corporates.
