If somebody does not suffer from an inferiority complex he will not go into pol

itics at all. Politics is the arena for those who suffer from an inferiority com
plex, because they want to prove to themselves and to the world that they are no
t inferior: Look, I have become the prime minister, or the president! Now who ca
n say I am inferior? I have proved that I am not inferior. Politics attracts the
people who are very egoistic and suffer from inferiority complex. If you are eg
oistic you are bound to compare yourself with others. The ego cannot exist witho
ut comparison.
Politics attracts only the most mediocre minds in the world. It does not attract
Albert Einsteins, Bertrand Russells, Jean-Paul Sartres, Rabindranath Tagores...
No, it attracts a certain kind of people. People who are suffering from some in
feriority complex are the people to be attracted towards politics, because polit
ics can give them power. And through power they can convince themselves and othe
rs that they are not inferior, that they are not mediocre.
