Politic Cynic


Politics
is the dark child of greed, selfishness and hate. It is the act of playing people out at the expense of selfish needs, cowardice, pure hate and immaturity. If politics was ever aimed for the good of others, the it would not be called politics; it would be mainly sainthood and all politicians would be saints.


Through the course of time, politics is prevalent in the blood of mankind. It's purely derived from the basic survival instinct, where the best survives. However, suvival treads on the thin line of needs and wants, where when people prosper, former wants are automatically promoted to needs. In other words, it's never enough when greed is at the root of everything.

Do people still care? Why? To what extent? No human is perfect and everyone has a price, just a matter of how much and what would they do to sell their soul.

No one is excepted from the game or viles of politics, regardless how safe or neutral game you play, as long as you are a benificiary of success, you are also the prey of politics & their pe-cursors; greed and jealousy.

If life is a war, then it's art of survival must be timing & choice on the battles, which & when to enter & retreat.

While advances in life is all about opportunities & timing, the ethical question is always that, at what expense & price did the success cost? And at whose footage? But in the test of time, politics has always been selfish at it's heart, where all expenses have always been dumped fo others to bear.

Yet, people try to justify their actions and as they all say, better the lesser of two evils. But, it's always hard to quantify or qualify simply because we all judge on different grounds & principles.

So, what does this all mean? Nothing, probably. But, if there was a hope for political players, it has to be their conscience because that is all that separates a person from humanity.

ps. I think in god's case, god is not a character of living but moral justice, as the creation was of balance for extremes, hence for every good, has evil of equal proprtion or impact.

cynically,
