The ancient Greeks felt that politics was a noble calling because it called upon those so engaged to reach for that more noble part above the antics of hoi polloi.<br /><br />In seeking political offices or other noble things people should focus on what is best for the order and not necessarily best for the individual. E.g. It would be awesome for one's ego to be Deputy Executive Grand Supreme Secretary (or like title) yet, if you're not best for the job, or the organization would be better off with someone else doing it then the more noble part of you should realize that. <br /><br />The player can make the game a better place by remembering no matter what the election is, we're brothers first. <br />Oh, hello soapbox, I'll get off of you now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
