The Danger of the Fulfillment of Political Wishes

The most difficult skill in politics is too see any limitation to the implementation of one's fondest political dreams. First one must see the limitation and then one must actively work to place it upon oneself. It is the equivalent, on the individual level, to the government placing any limits upon itself over time. It is a nearly impossible task and the reason why most polities divide between two radical extremes and tear themselves to pieces.
