Politics and the Common Good - Extracts


There are very few governments that do not deliberately try to confuse the population. To govern means to deceive, because very few peoples would to be directed, unless who command does not convince them that every decision is made for their own good .


Governments perfectly embody the popular saying that if a lie is big enough and sustained long enough it becomes the "truth" . Who have power must hide carefully to the public on how they arrived to take it, and everything is done and will do to keep the own chair .



The truth and politics can not get along, because politics is the art of saying only what they need to achieve a certain purpose. Politics is not necessarily
"bad", but it is a practical art .


The politician knows that the majority of people act according to their own interests , therefore he tries to convince you that his interest is also yours .

You can not ensure the morality and equality through laws; it is necessary a change in the collective consciousness, rather than a compulsion to "respect" the collective consciousness .


Behaviors such as laws must come from the Being. Must be a reflection of Who You Really Are, but unfortunately often they reflect what the rulers think that you
"should be" but you're not.


Generally nothing serves more to the common good of letting people govern themselves

Since many years you have the technology needed to produce electric cars, to organize health care better and more economical, to use solar energy as an energy source. Why dont you exploit these opportunities? Think about who "lose" money if this happens, and you will have the answer.


Is This the Great Civilization of which you are proud? Every time someone mentions the common good, everyone starts to scream : "Communism"! In your society the good of the many is almost always ignored, unless derived a huge profit for fews.
