The Unstoppable Nature of Those Who Do Not Care
In politics, there is a certain respect for individuals who do not care about the consequences of their actions, as they are perceived as unstoppable. This lack of compunction allows them to push through their agendas without being held back by emotions. On the contrary, those who care too much can be easily held hostage as they are more emotionally invested and affected by the outcomes. The story of Solomon and the two mothers and the baby is used as an analogy to highlight the unjust nature of situations where those who do not care seem to prevail over those who do care deeply. This dynamic, although infuriating, still plays a significant role in political decision-making processes and outcomes.
