The road to enlightenment is rather difficult to follow, which seems to be especially true for politicians and leaders. One has the impression that every nation and every human being has its or his own answers to this problem. Some people think that it is the church who must give a helping hand in the question of enlightenment. But sometimes it seems to pose more questions than it is capable of answering.

It seems that everybody forgets to look at the big picture of what is going on in the world. Those who manage to look over their geographical boundaries do so not to help, but to find something they would be able to make theirs. The best example of this kind of attitude is the situation in the Middle East. For instance, we all know that hostility between the Palestinians and the Israelis is used by others.
One does not even have to be prejudiced to make such statements. In the United States there are their own problems and hardly anybody believes that if they vote for the Democrats in 2008, they will not make the same stupid political mistake as the Republicans did. Both political parties seem to be entirely interested only in being in the government and imposing their values on this so diverse yet one country. Unfortunately, almost the same can be said about Sunnis and Shiites in the Arabian world.
The world needs essential reformation. Politicians are definitely not the fighters for enlightenment. Majority of them think that they have the answers to all questions while they have never even been interested in those questions. Maybe, we need some great philosophers if anyone will listen to them, of course.
If we want to get over this difficult time and come to maturity in the end, we are sure to need one!
