Political Minds

I am forced to write this because of certain funny behaviours i have seen in some people in the last two to three weeks. It's just unbelievable how desperate some people could be when they seek power. The saying that what happens at the top is just a manifestation of what most people do even at a small level.

The countdown has begun to another election in my department and many people have signified their intentions to vie for different posts in the departmental association. The reserved ones are pretending to be who they are not in order to get more people to support them (no problems with this, since it is politics). The worrisome thing however, is the manner in which some people are going about the whole issue. They are ready to go to the level of blackmailing other contestants in order for them to have an easy victory at the polls. Some others are parading themselves as the godfathers even at the departmental level.

When you look at all these, then you are forced to ask a question that what moral justification do people like these have to criticize political godfathers that are in full time politics. It's just worrisome that if they can do this at the level of the department that almost everybody know each other, what will they do when they get outside and don't even know their opponents? This is a serious question that needs an answer.

As they are planning, trust that there will definitely be a counter plan. Because there is evil in the land, the good should not also rest in order to ensure that good prevail over evil. The die is cast and we are ready for the battle (trust i don't sound like a politician).
