Policy of shades

It is the common policy of this word. This world is grassed with policy of shades. It is when people are allowed to see only those things that are of no importance. People read newspapers and they watch news and so on and so forth and they percept the information they hear or read there. But, indeed it is information that, in most cases, of no importance. See, the real nature of policy of this world is shaded and people will never see it. They will never see that no matter how hard they try, and considering the fact that people are not even trying we can make a conclusion, we can make a fair conclusion that policy of shades will be the eternal policy of this world. People are too busy with surviving and they have no time for watching after politicians and they have no time to see behind the curtains, they like it the way it is and they don’t want to spend the precious time looking for something they have never seen and they have never heard about. Policy of shades is a common policy of this world because people like it and politicians like it.

What we see and what we get

Politics is the bright example of the expression that you should never believe in words and have to count on actions of people. It is not that hard to say a couple of words, a couple of passionate words to make people believe but it takes a lot to follow those words you say and it is the rare feature of those people we have chosen as our leaders. Politics is the greatest and the eternal play. Nation is let to see things on the stage and everything important and of meaning happens behind the curtains, when people can’t see it. And all we can see is a perfect acting of those who want to calm us down and make us believe that everything will be great because they only want to be of great help. But, the real nature of politics is revealed behind curtains and those know the truth that had been there. That is the politics today and that is the politics of all times. Things we see and hear are things of no importance, and those important are hidden from us and we have to do our best in case we want to learn the truth about the leaders of our countries.

Is that right?

I was recently in a home with a beautiful couple that hold absolutely opposite views when it comes to politics. Interestingly enough, the couple could debate politics the same way that they could debate everything else. There was a loving difference between them that was not born to politics or any other topic, and it opened up a world of understanding for me. There are no lines between love and hate, especially when it comes to politics, unless we choose to place them there.

I listened on election night to McCain’s speech when it was clear that Obama was to take the presidency. There were jeers for the new President Elect, a clear and seething hatred coming from the crowd. Oddly enough, Obama later reached out to those people who had reacted to his good news with such disdain. We take politics so personally because we feel that our future is at stake. Yet just because we disagree when it comes to politics does that mean we can’t possibly live together and work together to make things better. If I look back at the couple with totally opposite views on politics the answer would have to be a resounding no. We can bridge those gaps that bipartisan politics creates and we can move forward as one whole unit. All we have to do is put aside the animosity that political parties create just through mere existence. That would be the aim of politics in the first place. We all just want things to get better and we want our lives to flourish, no matter what side of the fence we are on when it comes to politics.

Politics: How to not Start a Conversation

It is said that religion and politics are the two big categories to avoid when in a social gathering. Even over a casual dinner with close friends; politics can be a mine field of conversation. It starts by the casual mention of a political figure or a current bill that is in play to be passed by Congress; at this point the listener has to option to agree or disagree.

Some choose to agree to simply prevent the conversation from going any further and some choose to disagree to perpetuate an argument; however, agreeing does not guarantee that the conversation will change its track. One that considers themselves to be well informed will often decide that they need to educate those listening on their own spin of politics. If the listener disagrees then it is sure to be competition of knowledge and the craft of how to support a theory of whatever political issue is at stake.

Politics and political figures are really just about opinions in themselves. The political figures pay attention to the majority and campaign the way they believe will get them into office. When it comes down an actual vote it is nothing more than one person making an educated guess on the information they have…hopefully. There are theories of conspiracy and corruption, and they do exist but they are not as blatant as some would think. Politics is mainly about people and their opinions; some just have the power and option to make a difference with their opinion.

Politicians’ hypocrisy

Politicians are all the same. They make their career by means of lies and deception. It doesn’t depend on a political party they represent. Political parties serve as a screen for their activities and real goals. People read their programs, assess their main points and fail to understand that these programs mean nothing. They never reflect the true intentions of politicians. All candidates begin their agitation with beautiful words, promises and so on. Listening to their speeches, you may think that this is a messiah talking to you. The future seems radiant on the only condition: you must give your vote for this person and all your problems will be solved. Despite the great number of disappointments in political leaders, people still believe their sweet speeches and believe them. However, after the election, politicians change very quickly. At first they disappear, referring to being very busy. They claim that they need time to plunge into current problems of their voters. In fact, they think that during this period people will forget their promises. Some people really forget them but the rest remember and wait for actions, but they wait hoping for their implementation. Politicians explain changes in their behavior by political suitability and necessity of unpopular reforms. These politically correct terms are invented to evade responsibility before electorate. This is very sad but it happens regularly and everywhere. People shouldn’t remain indifferent to this phenomenon. They should control politicians and let them understand that they are accountable to their voters.

Politicians

Politicians are the most insidious and skillful intriguers. They promise very much to people and later on they refuse their words or find different explanations for their inconsistency. They always know what to say and never experience lack of words. They deceive people but look very confident in themselves and people believe them again and again. Then they are surprised. Hoe they could believe their lies. Yes, deception is a sort of art. Those who master it, deceive people, and remain unpunished and people continue believing lies. This can be compared with mass hypnosis. How else can we explain this phenomenon? There is always a handful of people, who see lies from within and try to persuade defrauded people that they shouldn’t believe these lies. However, they remain unnoticed. People want to be deceived. This is the strangest phenomenon. People don’t really want to hear the truth. Political speeches are something, which can be compared with lullabies. People listen to them and calm down. They prefer to live for the day and don’t think about the future. They prefer not to notice threats in order not to spoil their mood. They live now and here and try to not think much of their remote fate. People are afraid of panic and prefer calmness by any means, even if thus they sacrifice their future.

Politics

Politics is one of the most discussed topics nowadays. The fact that many people discuss political matters, which affect their lives and the fact that they can influence politics by their active position, is one of unquestionable achievements of democracy. Politics is interesting to people of different age groups, social classes and people of various professions. There are two approaches to politics: a professional approach and dilettantish one. Professional approach implies deep analysis, prognostication, global and holistic view on a problem. Dilettantish one is on the contrary: it is narrow-minded and simplified. It mostly refers to citizens, who are interested in politics so far as it influences their welfare and wage rates. Among these people conspiracy theories are very popular. For them it is very difficult to understand the laws of international market, economic laws and so on. For them it is much simpler to imagine an image of an almighty person or a group of such persons, who rule this world and that everything in global policy depends on them. It is very interesting and a little bit paranoiac point of view and it has been existed for a long time and seems to last many years ahead because these theories are impossible to prove or refute. One thing is obvious here: this is the easiest way to comprehend, understand and explain all the intricacies of the global policy to a little and narrow-minded person, who knows nothing in international economical and political relations.
