In my opinion only the meanest people in the world are attracted towards politics; the meanest, the lowest, because they know they can only do something if they have power. You Need Power Only To Do Something Harmful; otherwise Love Is Enough, Compassion Is Enough. And for compassion you need not be a president of a country, for love you need not be a prime minister.
-Osho, "From Unconciousness to Consciousness, #7"
