Politics
If you have come to me for the truth about politics, you have come to the right person, and I must congratulate you. Permit me to offer you my heartiest congratulations. I do not see how to offer them except in the form of words, though things many change at some future point in time, may they not? They usually do, and if they do, then they must certainly have been capable of doing so before so doing, i.e., if I am to put this form of words in a more accessible way, which is only befitting considering that it represents my heartiest congratulations which are no less real from being thus represented in the form of words, though this does of course evade the question of how and why, and possibly even whether, it would be possible to represent them in an entirely different form, this question which we have not now evaded being one that I am unable to give a definite answer to at this moment though I may offer some sign or gesture to the eventual solution by sharing with you the information that I pondered upon it at some length and was unable to obtain an answer or even a guarantee that an algorithm will eventually be found the application of which will lead inexorably to the much-anticipated illumination of the original doubt or vague unease in the mind occasioned by who can say what vague cogitations and resulting after due or undue process in the formulation of the question if not in the resolution of the question which may prove a task of incomparable difficulty though that is only a possibility which possibly cannot be readily accommodated in the mind because of the presence therein of numerous other possibilities which present themselves on curious occasions in an unwitting or unwilling way though "unwilling" may be a solecism considering that it is not commonly accepted that possibilities have intention but rather that they are abstract and insentient speaking of which it is a theory of mine that it is our thoughts that rule us and not conversely though this is of course not relevant directly to the question of the ontological nature of possibility which is possibly more suitably posed to the professional philosopher and not to a mere politician keeping in mind that that may be a slightly misleading form of words given that I have given no indication thus far that I am one of that wretched breed merely that I claim to know something about it however someone well-informed on politics would be well-advised to put his knowledge into practice so as to maximize his chances of making for himself a fulfilling life one's career being commonly acknowledged to be significant component of the same while always cognizant of the limitations in our power to make fulfilling lives for ourselves this being a circumstance in which other circumstances contrive occasionally to conspire these being ones that we may not readily dictate but which may conversely readily dictate to us and going back a little and getting back thankfully and at long last to the main point it is not clear whose advice we are referring to in the first place I mean it may very well be that of a politician may it not and where would we be then for we know that politicians are not to be trusted on the other hand those who are not politicians but merely possessed of considerable expertise or even an enviable store of knowledge concerning the area may be more trustworthy for what reason do they have to lie or merely prevaricate given that they do not even attempt to channel their undoubted native cunning (for why else study politics) into the service of making a quick buck oh yes a quick buck sounds good see how it rustles giddily though the hot air
