The seventh question
Question 7
OSHO, ARE THE POLITICIANS REALLY AS STUPID AS YOU SAY THEY ARE?
Govind, THEY ARE MORE STUPID THAN I SAY. In fact, unless a person is stupid he cannot be a politician. It is not that the politicians are stupid -- in fact, only stupid people are attracted towards politics.
What is politics basically? The desire to dominate others -- and that is the most stupid thing in life. The intelligent person tries to be a master of himself, and the stupid person tries to be master of others. And how can you be a master of others if you are not a master of yourself?
If you are not a master of yourself, then trying to be a master of others is just a substitute to befool yourself, to deceive yourself, and that is what the stupidity consists of.
Two politicians were sitting on a park bench in New Delhi. "I will tell you the truth," said one. "I am afraid to fly. Those airplanes ain't too safe!"
"Don't be a baby," said the other. "Didn't you read last week there was a big train crash and three hundred people were killed?"
"Three hundred killed on a train -- what happened?"
"An airplane fell on it!"
Overheard in the market by Deeksha: I am in favour of putting a statue of Morarji Desai in the middle of the square."
"For what?"
"It will give us shade in the summertime, shelter in the winter-time, and the birds a chance to speak for us all."
