Politics is the hardest and the toughest game !
Before writing about politics, we have to define it with our own words and to understand that very well.
Politics referring to google is :
the activities associated with the governance of a country or area.
There are other meanings of politics, but in this post I would like to talk about governance part.
During all the history we had many changes of the system of governance between people. That maybe also a nice definition. So, politics could be as well the organization of relationships. Before countries were formed, the most powerful seem led others. So, the weakest people didn't have any chance to survive without obeying, and they had to follow what the most powerful will say. Then someone come with the idea to choose a leader and those leaders were choosing the most powerful to protect them, and advisors to delegate to them some work. So, it was easier even for weaker people to survive in this case. Because people used their cleverness to be close to the leader or to those who were helping him. But still the leader if being weak physically, always used the power to make other people obey.
In such system, most of the resources were used by the leadership and only those who were beneficial to the leading guys were allowed to use the main resources even without paying in return. So, the leaders besides using all the resources and the power they had, they decided also to take tributes from everyone living in the territory. That tribute wasn't even needed, because they already controlled all the wealth. They only liked to show their importance to others and to demonstrate their power. They liked maybe the feeling of seeing someone bagging them, or always worshiping them. And even that wasn't enough, and they come with crazy ideas to make people turn to slaves to serve them. And they start asking people for ridiculous things to do for them, only to make them satisfy the feeling of being a ruler or someone who decides.
Then other leaders after having everything they wished, they decided to compare themselves to other leaders. Or they decided to invade more territories just to make themselves feeling one of the most powerful leaders. It's a dangerous characteristic of people. If they get into a position, they may use it against themselves or against others easily. And who know who could be that tyrant to become the same or to be even worse. You never know how the power can change anyone. Especially, if you weren't in such position. People may radically change. So, those leaders in the past didn't care about how many families they're going to destroy, how many people they're going to kill, how many buildings or heritage will be demolished. All they cared about is to invade those territories and to enslave people there. But that was in the past. Now authorities have other methods, but the history didn't change that much.
What if all those leaders colluded with others to divide the world. Maybe we didn't have before that many countries, so many languages ? Maybe languages were created by purpose ? That's why we see so many similar words in so many languages. Sometimes we see even the same word have a different meaning in other languages, but the world is the same. What if after dividing everything, they just decided to make people use only the language allowed by the leader. Maybe that was done because those leaders didn't like all people to turn against them, and they were afraid to lose all the power and the wealth they had. That's why they started to create wars, to rise the nationalism, to make people get proud of their leaders and to make them hate the other part by creating rumors and fake stories about them. So, that was a good solution to keep people divided and to not let them united against them.
It's really nice to know the history and to read about the previous wars and about how leaders were manipulating the crowd. Having an opinion about anything related to politics without learning about the history, is like drinking from an empty glass. You tell everyone that you are drinking while it's clear that you are not.
It's interesting to see people fighting each other and proving something without knowing the history or even thinking about it. The critical thinking shouldn't be only about the resent events, but it should consider everything happening in the past.
And also, politics is the hottest topic in my country right now because election is coming. I hope we will have a clean election.
