Intolerance blinds the sense of insight!  

Often enough, I refrain from expressing personal opinions or passing moral judgement in what I say. However, even though I make a conscious effort to keep my thoughts to my myself, I believe it is healthy to vent one's feelings once in a while. Indeed, one's choice of subject might ruffle some feathers but one would be recoiling from one's responsibilities as a citizen of the world if one were not to say anything about the state of the world in which it finds itself.  Be the first and last to laugh as the content of my piece might all be lost in translation but the main reason why politicians often suffer from flatulence, in my opinion, is because they are so full of themselves; so much so that whenever they have a chance of getting something right there is a 100 per cent of likelihood that they would get it all wrong. It is all very well if their actions would solely affect them but the truth is when they get it wrong they really leave everybody dans la merde. Many of those called little wars are examples of what I am writing about since twisted thinking and mistrust are the exclusive causes of nearly all the world suffering, and the main reason for this anguish are the politicians for they are, not only, too far apart from reality but they are also temperamentally incapable of responding to the deeper kinds of emotion that the average man is able to sense. I do not wish to take an existing analysis, of which there are many, but it is mighty important that we rethink the language of diplomacy so that countries are able to sort out their differences by peaceful means for I believe that placing ideas together would produce a good effect of balance in the relations of the nations of world. Certainly, politicians have made far too many mistakes and those mistakes have been very costly to the world as a whole; therefore, I believe it is time to come to one's senses and mitigate the pains of the world by giving peace and talk a chance.
