As I mentioned before, we cannot ever be free of politics and political thinkers. Politics rule our lives, on daily basis. We are living in a day and age, in which, we have to admit that we are all interconnected not only spiritually, but politically too. Politics of China, USA, India or Japan etc., have direct or indirect consequences everywhere in the world. We cannot get away from politics, no matter how hard we try. Even if we decide to live on a remote desert island and think of God continually, your stay there can be thwarted by politics, if they decide to carry out fracking in search of cheaper fuel! You will have to move. Our lives are overwhelmed with how our politicians think and decide. We can become experts in our chosen fields but we will never be free of politics or policies.
Aristotle was not wrong in emphasising that the role of politics and politicians in a society should be, ' to bring about the virtuous life' of the citizens. By the way, I hate politics!
