An individual neither intends to promote public good nor knows he is doing it… he intend only his gain… and is led, as if by an invisible hand, to promote and end which was no part of his intentions… It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the baker or brewer that we expect or our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest… We address ourselves, not to their humanity, but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities, but of their advantages. (Adam Smith). === Well, this is one famous controversial quote from the father of Capitalism (Adam Smith). It doesnt apply in all situations, but, it is my utmost guiding principle when it comes to dealing with politicians... Thus, dont see a politician as a great savior... only see the invisible hand as your great savior... Politicians may do good to you, but, it is not really their intention... their intentions are simply selfish gains... but, to achieve these selfish gains, the invisible hand dictates them to do good to you. So, dont worship them! Though appreciate them, but, know that whatever they are doing is to their advantage and not to your necessity. You may benefit, but only if it is inevitable. PRAISE THE INVISIBLE HAND! Yes, some may call it God.. some may call it laws of nature.. but whichever case it might be, it is the only care that grants you the benefit from selfish capitalists in the name of politicians...
