Summary

This quote highlights the importance of practical experience and active involvement in understanding government and politics. While studying these subjects in school provides a theoretical foundation, true comprehension of the processes and complexities of governance comes through hands-on engagement. By volunteering in political campaigns, government organizations, or community initiatives, individuals gain first-hand knowledge of how decision-making takes place, policies are implemented, and the impact they have on society. This direct involvement allows for a deeper understanding of the dynamics of government and politics than what traditional classroom learning can provide.

Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.
