A politician's career seems to take a sudden turn as soon as he is elected to office. One of the reasons for this turn of events is perhaps that he replaces his individual moral code system - regardless of his will - with a communal one. Besides, things look very different from the top, and the life of a single person seems very small. As long as the politician is only a candidate, he sees the unique suffering; once you reach the top, it all becomes a statistic.

Hungarian

"A politikus pályafutásában mintha hirtelen törés következne be, amint megválasztják hivatalába. E fordulat egyik oka talán az, hogy egyéni erkölcsi kódrendszerét - akaratától függetlenül - közösségire cseréli. Amellett a csúcsról egészen másképp festenek a dolgok, és egyetlen ember élete nagyon kicsinynek látszik. Amíg a politikus csak jelölt, látja az egyedi szenvedést; amint felért a csúcsra, mindez statisztikává válik."
