Politics is defined in the dictionary as “ Social relations involving authority or power “. Come to think of it, the elite classes of individuals who govern any nation are called “ Politicians “. Some of us hope to be one among them, but the very use of the word “ POLITICS” infuses a whole world of negativity and is deciphered as a game of greed, treachery and bias. Politics in reality is the implementation of powers bestowed by virtue of position and is worthy of respect. The world however does not survive on definitions but on perceptions, which are a way of life. Therefore to consider politics as misuse of power many a time may sound appropriate.

“ I was undone by Politics”, is an oft-heard statement. What does it in reality imply?

A small group, a little community gathering or even a social service organization where people interact often leads to a difference of views, which more often turns personal. Humans are seldom objective and do not always weigh issues by their merit . In the pretence of a difference of views over a “ Strictly Professional “ issue, people shed their personal apprehensions and fears in public. To me, this is nothing but Insecurity and exposure of Insecurity alone.

The science of politics inevitably begins when two people meet for the very first time. I say this because perceptions or notions of the other individual are formed within us. These perceptions influence our decision and behavior in the long run.

Authority has always been a double-edged sword, which many a times can lead to the downfall of its very creators. No slave has ever loved or respected his master. Imposition of a rule or proposition for one’s benefit has never created synergy.

Each time you feel let down or falsely implicated by the action of others, remind yourself of the inevitable truth in life “ No human can ever snatch away your ability .
