Bureaucrats in service are a different species
Bureaucracy is faceless and ruthless. It cannot have emotional or moral values. So says a writer.
Absolutely true.
By definition they are trained to serve the system good or bad. More efficient they are, the more the system uses them for the purpose it wants to.
Just as much good can get accentuated by bureaucracy if the system is oriented to national prosperity as in case of China, evil too gets accentuated by many orders more by the same bureaucracy if the system is evil as in case of India.
The leadership who gets control of the system determine the direction. Bureaucracy is like a machine delivering with multiplier effect what ever you desire exercising the power vested in you.
Exceptional odd ones do fight the trend of the system whether good or evil, but when working against the system, will be forced to spend more than 90% of time just survive and cannot aspire to make a career.
Probably every bureaucrat is unconsciously aware of these facts, and each one tunes himself to the reality, just to make a living or a career.
A different breed of animals are the well trained bureaucrats or for that matter armies or any organised groups.
