The Political Affect of the Self

Almost everyone who has spent a few minutes reaching politics has formulated an opinion of some kind. With a political system, such as the one in the US, opinion can often turn into determination for change. We see our own version of a brighter tomorrow, and wonder what must be done to get there. We see improved economies, liberty, and life for our fellow countrymen. We then question what we can do to help push our now determined opinion. We scour blogs and articles to make comments, post videos, post blog entries, and try to talk to as many people as possible. We tell ourselves that if we can change one person, then that is all that matters. This energy is addicting, but from time to time, one must ask one's self: Am I making a difference? Should I just give up or should I continue to fight?

I am going to suggest to continue the fight, despite the hardships that surround us. It will cause stress, agony, and getting over short term defeats. Yet, we will prevail. The next time you feel down about your political opinions, stay strong and true to what you feel is right. In addition, listen to those around you and be ready to learn. No one knows everything, not even in politics. By staying active politically, you will keep your mind sharp, and your tongue quick.
