Since you’re reading this, you are undoubtedly a person with strong convictions about politics and religion. Religious and political organizations are naturally quite keen on emphasizing the differences between themselves and their opponents. Political leaders and religious leaders have common traits in terms of their leadership styles and processes.
Religion is for the people, its about the people. Politics on the other hand is also the same. To be elected, you should be someone the people love, someone the people think can lead them, someone the people have confidence in. This someone should be in some sense to the people someone of higher values, good morals, someone that is much respected.
These attributes as required or wanted by the people, I call it "The Perfect Person". The sad thing about politics and the people is that its full of fake leaders because the people hate the truth. I'm not saying there are no good guys in politics but its just that the people hate to be shown the reality, the truth.
They always want to be lied to. I cant be a politician who smokes,a leader who can feel free to go to strip clubs, like have that freedom and still win the love of the people. About 90% of the people sorry will say its not good for a leader to smoke. Let me ask this question, don't we have political leaders that smoke? Its definitely no to the people. These politicians need to hide their identity just to win which is just wrong. They live fake lives just to win. America over the years is known to be a land full of freedom, a country that you have that freedom to do whatever you want but their leaders need to be perfect just to win.
Its not only in America, its everywhere in the world. The people don't really focus about the work to be done , how capable the person is aside his/her normal life. Donald Trump's history about his social life straight from his wife, being a former stripper and him going to night clubs and all should have lost him the seat of a president but he still won. Americans just didn't believe he won because of his history and all.
That is how the political system is designed. The political system is designed that just the fact that you are running for office you just have to be dishonest. You cant be your worst self and tell the people about it. You cant show both sides of you to the people. The political system is designed that, running for office you have to literally lie to the people and when some dirt comes on you, you've got to clean it up instead of embracing it that you are a regular human being.
You cant tell the people that you are a drug addict but you've got the heart of the people, that you've got whats best for the people and if they can deal with you, you will be there for them.That you are the best for them if they can deal with your other side. The people dont want to accept reality. They want you to be perfect and by so doing politicians end up lying.The system needs to change, the people need to accept reality, whatever personality he/she brings to the table so long as he/she is capable of getting the job done.
