Why care about politics.



Please take the time to read this article for it is not what you think it is.
 
   All my life politics has never been my strong point. Even in school government class it was difficult to understand or I really did not have too much interest in the subject. Even today, politics is too complicated, and it just does not attract me too much.
But the thing is that do interest me are things like religion spirituality,art, gardening, woodworking, teaching and the little bit of science. These are the subject to fascinate me the most. I wake up every morning thinking about spiritual wisdom and philosophy striving to become a better person in a spiritual and physical aspect. Investing my free time working in my vegetable garden growing healthy food. And once in a while finding wood that people throw away, and then making new furniture out of old wood. And then in the evening watching Discovery Channel or history channel or science channel. See educational programs about history and learning how the universe is all about. These are the things that really motivate me and inspire me.
 
  But politics is usually the last thing on my mind. But in 1984 I just graduated from high school. Despise of the things that I mostly like to do, I began to notice that sometime it is a little bit difficult to do the things that you like when they are certain things happening in our society. I am not saying that it is impossible to fulfill your dream or your desire, despise what is going on around you. But it does make it a little bit harder to concentrate on the things you like to do.
Usually people will probably react by hating what is going on and become a rebellion. It usually the the 1st reaction that people do.  Although I hate at what was going on, I luckily never became a rebellion. And by what I mean things going on around me, I mean like the economy, our government and world event.
   But instead, I became to be more curious of what was going on and how it was affecting my lifestyle. Despise how much I have little interest in politics or even government function, I began to realize that it had a tide with the things that we do in our daily life. We have taken for granted the luxury that we have in our life. like when I wake up every day thanking the creative for another day, then walking into the bathroom and washing my hands and face.  And then going to the kitchen and prepare myself some morning breakfasts. Not realizing for single moment that I have been enjoying the luxury of having indoor plumbing, and a indoor kitchen with fresh food in my refrigerator. But that wasn't the only luxury that I had. For every time I walk out of the house to start a new day, that I have been enjoying the luxury of the freedom that only some people in other country dream of.




   And what do I mean by freedom? I mean freedom like to do the things that I would like to do without anybody dictating my life. The freedom to go to religious temple and to worship the creator without being persecuted for my religious belief. To speak with someone and express my idea and belief without being arrested, for as long I do not use dirty language. The freedom to go to learn and educate myself on whatever I would like to learn. These are just some of the things that I'm talking about regarding to freedom.
  But this is not something that just happened overnight. A group of men decided to come up with the most radical idea in 1776. They decided that humanity should no longer be rule by one man, or by a royal dynasty. Throughout history humanity has always been rule by some sort of royal dynasty. They would dictate and tell us how our lives should be. were to live or what language to speak.
  But these group of men came up with an idea that was always talked about but never was done. And that is for a group of people to decide how their lives should be without a ruler. So they took a piece of parchment paper that have really no value at all, and wrote down an idea that forever changed the world. Even today a great deal of the government all over the world have to give thanks in one way or another upon the simple paper that they wrote on in 1776. And what is that I'm talking about? It is the Constitution of the United States. Little by little country all across the world began to be free from some sort of royal dynasty or ruler.


 
   And now today as I sit in front of my computer writing this article, I can not help myself by thinking how wonderful it is to have the freedom of expression. To have the freedom of how I should dictate my life. And of course as long it is not a destructive lifestyle. But with ethics and responsibility to have the freedom to live in a civilized society. In order for me to have the enjoyment to do the things that I really like to do,
So I need to learn and become involved in understanding the world of politics. Like I said before, it is really not something that attract me, but I also know that it is part of the my life and the system I live in. But if I would like to have the freedom to dictate my life, I have to learn a little bit of the government system. I did not make this article in order to debate of what other people think the political government should be.
   I made this article only to let people know that despise what ever lifestyle you have, If you wish to continue to be free, you have to educate yourself a little bit of how our political system work. This also goes to anyone else who live anywhere in the world.

   On the bottom I put a link of a video that I saw on YouTube. I used to think that our government was a government of democracy. But then somebody that I have in my circle in Google plus told me about this video. I saw I made a mistake in regarding in how I should view the government. I know there is videos out there that may explain even more, but this is a good start.
