Quote by Terry Pratchett
One of the hardest lessons in young Sam's life had been finding out that the people in charge weren't in charge. It had been finding out that governments were not, on the whole, staffed by people who had a grip, and that plans were what people made instead of thinking.
Summary
This quote highlights young Sam's realization that those in positions of power, particularly within governments, often lack competent leadership. It suggests that there is a disconnect between the perception of those in charge as being knowledgeable and capable, and the reality that they often lack proper decision-making skills and foresight. This learning experience leads Sam to understand that plans are often made impulsively or without much thought, further diminishing his faith in those with authority.
