Then he went to jail for a long time and emerged a uniter, and for this very valuable and rare attribute he is accorded accolades, undoubtedly deserved. My contention here, Daniel, is that contemporary politicians should not aspire to similar hero status: most politicians percolate up through the ranks, and when they reach the stardom Mandela reached, it is because of mastery of talents in the political arena of which Mandela was never required to show mastery (he was on Robben Island). Most politicians are narcissists of the first degree. Mandela merely ('merely') sat in jail, and was of a character that, bombing accusations aside (he probably was co-opted in that effort, I wouldn't be surprised), would probably not have had the necessary psychological pathology to be a modern national leader. Maggie Thatcher and Ronald Reagan had the qualities to devolve the powers they acquired back to the people, and Mandela might have been of that ilk. As a South African (military experience 1977-78), I am of the opinion that although Mandela's cosying up to the Arafat's of the world was extremely dubious, he was merely naive or completely bamboozled, but not innately evil. We'll never know, but my point is that current politicians follow a different route to stardom, are a self-selected group who got there by pathological narcissism and severe personality disorder rather than going to jail for 23 years, and should expect no such appreciation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-44458921301984535442013-12-07T05:31:58.603-05:002013-12-07T05:31:58.603-05:00I come here to get my daily dose of truth.
