People&Politics

…and I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I CAN do. – Edward Hale.

I’ve heard many stories about talented people leaving their profession or interest because they were BURNT out due to ‘politics’.

I advised my friend, “But politics is ubiquitous, it’s in every part of our lives. We can’t run away from it, because the presence of politics is merely a reflection of the nature of imperfection in mankind. Turning our back on our core passion in life, aren’t we inflicting greater damage to ourselves?”

He kept quiet. There was no eye contact.

His silence retaliated a self-imposed question.

“What about me? Am I running away too?”
