A Political Person We Are

Thoughts..view and opinion. Whatever we called it, definition goes beyond the meaning. We are all political person be it whether we voiced out our ideas or choose to be in silent. It doesnt take one to be seated in the parliament to have a political attitude. As I mentioned before the meaning goes beyond the social definition, it is how we deal with the nature, with life, with the people around us and most importantly with ourselves.

Pro-choice, pro life, anti-homosexual, anti-establishment, vegan, meat-lover, environmentalist, socialist, capitalist, fundamentalist and the list goes on. These are what we choose and by choosing to confirm to one definition, we shaped our identity thus it creates a worldview that response to the surroundings. This is a political attitude.

A person like me who choose not to confirm myself to any definition in life rather dwell myself closely to the nature being and move myself in the wave, does make me a political person too. The difference between me and them is the limitation of the notion of life itself. I am somewhat free from this limitation and possibility. I believe that by defining and confirming one self to a particular group or particular idea, the sense of freedom hasnt yet reach its true meaning.

However, there is nothing wrong of confirming oneself to anything. What really matters is that our view should be aligned with the nature or fitrah of our being because what is good for the body isnt necessary good for the soul. In this worldly life, the soul and the body can never be enemy..

anti-establishment, vegan, meat-lover, environmentalist, socialist, capitalist, fundamentalist. These are all labels, set yourself free from labels and you can be anything you want.

Some people have their oen political view, thats good. Most people just follows the view of the masses.... Which is why I think democracy is flawed concept...
