As any
normal person will be able to reason out, politics is the science and the art
of personal and especially group interaction that helps the persons concerned
to be able to influence power or other decision making; or indeed, to capture
that power (or decision-making) in order to use it for the pursuit of the
greatest good for the greatest number of people in the polity, evenly and
equitably.
It is for this reason that the classical Greek philosophers of old reckoned that politics is the highest human calling in the human life. They considered that after nursery, primary, secondary, tertiary or professional education for all the possible professions and jobs in life, then those who are able, will then be trained in philosophy as the highest level of training. Then, they will become the philosopher-kings ready and capable of justly, equitably and progressively ruling the nations of the world.
