I hate politics

It's funny. No matter how far away you are from a certain field, that field somehow trickles down and effects you in some or many ways whether you know it or not. The politics is in every game. The game IS politics. When I say politics, I am not talking about just the shit that goes in the white house and in DC. I am talking about politics in general. Whether it's the politics of whether you advance in a company or not, or the politics of your image among your social peers, or the politics behind a issue you feel that does involve our government. At the end of the day, the politics of everything is ugly, and there never seems to truly be a right answer, but a lesser evil. What's worse, is you're required to choose a side. There's always a side to choose. But this isn't a galaxy far far away where it's either Good/the light side (where the intentions are genuinely good) or Bad/the dark side (where the intentions are genuinely bad). It's not that cut and dry. There is alot of gray area. In fact, there's so much gray area, you'd think a ninja just dropped a permanent smoke bomb. I wish I could be that ninja. The politics make it hard sometimes to fucking think straight. There's just so much to consider these days. I just wanna be a good man, the best man I could be, fuck all the bullshit. But If I strictly abide by that motto, then I will either sink in this society, or I would just float along. With that said, It means I have to play the game. Play the game of the politics, eventually become apart of the politics that dictate another's situation, then force that person to play the game as well. It's ugly. To get ahead, you gotta be smart. sometimes I question myself, am I smart enough to play this game and win? There's no retry and continue, once you fuck up big, that's it. It's not about knowledge....too much knowledge can destroy you. It's about intelligence...how you apply useful knowledge, and combat the knowledge that can hurt you, and avoid the hurdles and pitfalls of the political adversaries you may face. Sometimes I don't think I'm smart enough. But I gotta play, Cause If I don't play my cards, who will?
