‘Politics exist because people disagree about the aims and
objects of human endeavor and, probably even more so, about the methods to be
used in achieving them. Human beings differ enormously in temperament, in what
they want from life and in their reactions to the numerous problems that they
have to cope with. These differences produce different attitudes to public
issues and lead to the activity of politics. Politics therefore involves
conflict. This can result in violence, as in many of the developing countries,
but in the Western democracies the differences are usually resolved peacefully.’
I googled. The nature of politics. And this is what I got.
The key word is ‘conflict.’ I don’t understand. Why there needs to be conflict.
I suspect. That somewhere in the infinite cosmos. There’s a thriving society.
In which there’s no political conflict. If I were gawd. My highest
priority. Would be to create such a
society. Just for the fun of it. --Jim Broede
