Confucius Speaks Truth to Politicians

By

Amidst the growing dissatisfaction from swathes of our citizens of South Africa who fail to understand how we can elect politicians to guide and grow our coutry whilst uniting us all under a common theme our ancient friend Confucius had it right when he said:

A seed grows with no sound, but a tree falls with a huge noise, Destruction has noise, but creation is quiet. This is the power of silence. Grow silently.

So, the next time a politician mouths off for hours about how wonderful his/her political party will make our lives just do the following; “Sit in that stadium with your free T-Shirt munching on your free lunch then close your eyes and imagine that politician falling like a huge tree! And then mourn the fact that said politician never had the intelligence to grow like a seed into a huge tree!”

Go On – Share the Gqeberha Love!

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
