the personal is the political "cliche"

Its very difficult to please everyone, especially when one has very opinionated views on issues. Sharing ideas and having discourse was supposedly a healthy activity but with recent and recurring experiences it seems to leave me with a bad taste.

I cant seem to remember if I imposed anything on anybody, but I do know that I exhaust discussions to the point when some people begin perceiving them as impositions.

I have always seen myself in a constant struggle to put consistency in ideas and actions, or at least put a healthy ratio between the two that somehow manifests equally.

I have always tried to be political as I thought man by nature is political, the differences lie on how one practices their politics.

One can espouse radical politics but are not adherent to the supposed ideals they express.

One may not be that radical vocally but actually puts actions before words.

One may support the structures or systems that oppress since they benefit from the status quo.

One may resist against the powers that be since they will benefit the most with its overthrow.

One may also lie outside the arena and just be a bystander, uncaring whether which way the wind blows.
