Shadow Politics

It is said the true challenge of creation lies not in the engineering but rather in the ability to control one's project. One must understand this axiom well. Understand that it applies to the individual organism as well as politics.

First, analyse the problem.
Devise a solution that allows for manageability.
Assemble the elements that comprise the whole.
Combine them, allowing reactions to occur.
Observe the reactions, and identify the cancerous elements: The elements that perform counter to the intended results, the ones that gnaw away the new creation.

Once identified, the rogue elements can be dealt with
Cast out
Eliminated.

Thus, the new creation can thrive and grow and evolve to its intended pourpose.

Then one will face the challenge of control.
Control is not a simple thing.
It requires vigilance.
Discipline.
And sometimes, Intervention.

For when the new creation becomes strong enough, independent enough...It can veer from its intended destiny to forge its own.

For only when control is firmly and finally established, can one be called
A master.
