Maybe i should have stated that politicians are crazy! I have once again realised that in order to be involved in politics and stay sane, you have to be slightly crazy. I can only imagine what people not involved in politics must think about politicians as they watch the eb and flow of political events, arguments and careers.
Just think of these examples.
Bill Clinton: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman..."
Jacob Zuma the former Deputy President of South Africa who reckoned he prevented contracting HIV by taking a shower after sex.
South African President Thabo Mbeki who defies scientists about the causes and treatment of HIV.
It almost seems that we are exposed to these type of crazy ideas on a daily basis. But worse, the limit is exceeded everyday. Just when you thought "I have now seen or heard it all" along comes another politican pushing the envelope.
However, when one looks at the good leaders they seem to be very uncontroversial, and there are many more of them than the crazy ones. Although, I am sure that they must also be a bit crazy in order to tolerate the antics of those who are too crazy. You get my point...
But what should our approach be to some of the crazy things happening around us? And remember it is not just politicians who say and do crazy things, they just do it so much more publicly.
Well the answer in my view is quite simple: have a sense of humour. Embrace the funny side of crazy but don't be seduced by it, the last thing you wanna do is cross over to the dark side!!
