They say the smallest form of governance is the family unit. How many here govern their family, successfully, in the exact manner that they would govern anything larger (church, neighborhood, village, city, state, country)?
Because if you have figured out how to govern at the small level and you are doing it with a good heart for all parties affected, it's time to step up to the next level and try there.
“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.” - John Stuart Mill
