POLITICS

Ok Politics, what is it? Politics by definition would be the art or science of government. Politics is a way things are run in a certain society. Yes politics is a dirty, dangerous and decieving game more in some places than others but generally fits that category. It is definately a topic which may bring one to argument with self on wheather or not one should get involved in it. Getting involved doesn't necessarly mean beaing in a governing position but being participant in different levels from the level of just having the knowledge about it to being social activist to being in a position in power. Eventhough it is a sensitive topic and even if it might heat up emotions, since we are logical beings we should do things reasonably and logically. So now my question here is should one or shouldnt one get involved in politics. Well it is all up to the interest of the individual. I wouldnt say that one should or shouldnt and I personally believe that nobody would be right to say that to anybody since it all depends on the personal interest, inclination and on what gravitates one.
When is it a must to get involved and when is it a must to not get involved? Can one really say that one should or shouldn't?
I believe that things should be done according to reason and interest. Well putting interest aside, since everything has pros and cons here are the reasons why one should or shouldn't get involved in politics.

REASONS AND TIMES WHY ONE SHOULD GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS

1) COLLECTIVE AWARENESS AND PARTICIPATION ALWAYS GIVES PUSH TOWORDS CHANGE:-
One should be aware and participate in the politics of one's country to a certain extent because of the fact that collective awareness and participation to a cerain extent is always helpfull in giving a push towards a change in accordance to the likes and benifit of the society.
2) MAY BE INTERESTING TO TALK ABOUT
It is a topic of discussion just like any other topic and might be interesting to talk about.
3) MAYBE PERSONAL NATURAL INCLINATION
If one's inclination is towards politics one should give it a go in attaining one's interest.
4) IF PARTICIPATION WILL SHURELY BRING CHANGE
In a situation where one is sure that one's participation will bring about change for a reasonable amount of time it may be reasonable for one to give it a go.
5) IF CONSCIOUS COMPELLS ONE
If one's conscious compells one into participating and participating in different degrees according to the situation.
6) IF ONE IS HARDCORE POLITITIAN BY NATURE
If one naturally is inclined towards it and has decided without a doubt to be involved no matter what because of ones carrier calling. Hardcore polititians probably fit in this catigory.
7) TO BRING SOLUTION TO A BURNING PROBLEM AT HAND
If there is a burning problem at hand that needs to be solved by getting involved and if not solving it would be unbearable.
8) IF THERE IS A GOOD MATERIAL, IDEOLOGICAL OR POLITICAL GAIN
If the gain (be it political, ideological or material), to be made is significant.
9) JUST HAVING KNOWLEDGE COUNTS AS A POTENTIAL TO USEFULL PARTICIPATION AND KNOWING DOESNT HURT
The mere act of having knowledge is in some way participating because knowing is half the battle and is a huge potential. There is no harm in knowing and there is no gain in not knowing. But having the mere knowledge has a potential.
10) PARTICIPATION MAY BRING CHANGE IN THE FUTURE
It is always a balance between self survival and conscious and doing something for the next generation. If one personally strongly believes that it is better to sacrifice self survival for the future generation it is up to the person's convictions.
11) PLAIN MORAL CONVICTION
Whatever the reason maybe(as there can be lots) if one is totally convinced he/she should go for it.
12) WITHOUT A CHOICE
Sometimes one gets involved in politics without one's choice. Even when one doesn't want to get involved at all one might get dragged into it.

REASONS AND TIMES WHY ONE SHOULD NOT GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS

1) THE CHANGE ALWAYS CHANGES
After sacrifices are made, a lot of struggles done and results gained, the change that was aquired does change again in the future maybe in the opposite direction. But of course the responsibility can be given to the comming generation of strugglers. But it is still a reason that may give one a second thought.
2) MAY BE DANGEROUS 
Any form of participation in politics maybe extreemly dangerous in some places and situations. So it again comes down to survival or sacrifice.
3) LACK OF FUNDEMENTAL REASON
In situations where one has to balance and choose between survival and sacrifice, if one thinks things thoroughly, one may find it hard to come up with a solid and unchanging reason why one should sacrifice one's  life for. The reason beaing that everything about politics changes in time. Even geographical boundaries, cultures and racial divisions for which people usually sacrifice themselves for change in time.
4) TOO COMPLICATED TO CHOOSE ONE PURE PATH
Politics by nature is extreemly complicated and by nature will always have faults. Like everything else one path has pros and cons. Based on that if one chooses one path and becomes a hardline follower there will always be opositions with different ideologies and different pros and cons and also hardliners.
5) IF THERE IS NO PERSONAL CONVICTION
Just the mere reality of not having the moral conviction to go out and confront the challenges of being involved and work for a better something is a deal breaker for getting involved since there maybe serious threats for one's well being.
6) IF REASON FOR SURVIVAL AND PEACE OUTWAYS REASON FOR SACRIFICE
At the end of the day it all comes down to the weighing done between survival and sacrifice. If after reasoning, the reason for survival and life without the consequences of being involved outways the reason for paying whatever sacrifices one would pay by being involved it again is reasonable to not get involved.
