Self-serving politicians are smart, but look at the suffering & hatred they create, the lives they destroy and the darkness they bring. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the drink of violence. But the Statesman is wise, their path of righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. They give life to those around them.
"When the Tao is lost, there is goodness. When goodness is lost, there is morality. When morality is lost, there is ritual. Ritual is the husk of true faith, the beginning of chaos." Self-serving politicians forces rituals and conformity on the people to achieve self-serving goals. Statesman seeks the truth for the good of all.
"If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together." Self-serving politicians walk fast to take all they can. Statesman walks with people, and walk far together.
