A Week Is a Long Time in Politics
Hey, Pals!
This time I want to share my thought that was
actually my inner conflict. This has something to do with politics. To be
honest, I hated politics, and I didn’t want to involve in it. That is why I
didn’t take International Relation as my major although part of me wanted to. All
this time, from my point of view politics is about corruption, clean hands, and
dirty tricks. I used to think that politics is not important. Well, that is a childish
thought of me.
Now, as I looked around, and be more critical
to surrounding issues, I’ve changed my mind. I am aware that no aspect of my
life can be spared from politics. Although politics still can’t be spared from
dirty tricks, I now agree that politics is important. I don’t mind being the
part of it. In fact, I want to be the part of it by joining Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. Hope Allah grants my wishes. Amiin. Mucha suerte para mi :))
It is funny how things change in a few months. Well,
in politics it’s natural. An idiom says a
week is a long time in politics, which means that in politics, many changes
can happen in a short space of time. Now, I try not to be indifferent about
politics. Let alone I am a university student now, which means I need to be
more sensitive with such issues. I realize that my mind doesn’t magically think
critically about it in a blink of eyes. That is why I’ve been reading many
political articles lately. In addition, I join a student press activity, which demands
my critical thinking. You can see I’m working on my mind right now.
This is just something that popped up in my
head months ago, but I just got time to write now. Unfortunately, just as I
reconsider politics, big (yet again, full of tricks) occurrences in politics
field are happening. No, no, I’m not holding back my words. The other way
around, it’s kind of intriguing to follow.
I hope this will be the milestone for more-mature me.
Please wish me luck ;)
