World peace would not depend upon the existence or non-existence of politicians, if only
people, individually and collectively, understand and live up to the canons of perfect
righteousness, wisdom, truth and justice. As long as people do not rise to this level, ‘politicians’,
which is only a name for those who are in charge of the administration, will continue to be
actuated by their selfishness and greed and will accordingly ride roughshod over the feelings and
sufferings of millions and will go on embarking on wars however destructive they may be in
general.
