I’d fucking hate to be a politician for this very reason. Having to be seen to sympathise or go to every fucking funeral going. Having to listen to all sorts of shit from all sorts of people and trying to act like each of them genuinely matters to your every day. A horrible existence, and generally proof that anybody who wants to be a politician probably shouldn’t be allowed be one.
