Political life is not normal lifestyle in the street, growing up and witness politics I Begin to realize politics as a pure game like everyone other games eg temple run, whorth, ps4, dream league, ludo and many. This games surprise you when you do not expect so politics surprises people expectations. Your brother can be against you,  your siblings can be against you, even yourself can be against yourself. In politics trust is not among the parties flags, is just a war of interest.

If your family is against you maybe every persons in your environment then you are the cause of everything. You can choose to hate or wicked people around you because you are a politician. That is purely absurd and should not be condone. You are comparing politics to the usual games we used to play around us to politics? No I can't comprehend your comparison and I think giving more details will be better.
I don't like politics that is why I always step aside when I see that discussion about it is becoming obvious. Politics is  not meant to change our personality rather to build us to understand how we need to act to become a winner.

I am not comfortable with the title, thieves and master election fraudsters cannot humble me. Humility is not born out of surprise or unexpected happenings, it is a well-coveted virtue. The Nigeria election is a total fraud and I am very surprised that people that claim they own the country lost elections even in their own presumed City. Some political heavyweights that claimed that Peter Obi will not get up to 5 votes in their wards lost elections in their wards. APC and INEC would have earned more respect if they had conducted free and fair elections, but they lost the opportunity.

Our hope is now on the judiciary. They are the last hope of the common man and the last hope of the masses. The Supreme Court should consider the electoral laws and public opinions and the truth about the election will be unveiled. Judgment should be just and fair and Nigerians will rejoice and give them their due respect.

we can not measure how humble a person can be humble by political events. Politics can only humble those who are emotional about politics and doesn't understand Government and politics. In politics looser always complain while winner rejoices.  Politics is a game of interest, and before you involve in politics expect anything at any time. Politicians pretend during campaign, they calm to be Saint and once they wins, they forgot those they claim they love. No politicians is humble.

Man is by nature a political animal and at that, all man's activities from cradle to the grave are political,  and just as you said, there is nothing like trust in politics.

-politics is a game of interest, and so long as the players understand this, they will be at peace with whatever the outcome of their political struggle. If you take time to study and understand the viewpoints of various scholars on the topic of politics you will discover the true reason why people are referred to as political animals by Aristotle

Politics is just so dirty and with most belief, it's opposite with what's indicated in the title. It's making those in the position and even their sons and daughters to have that kind of power they feel from their fathers or mothers who's in the authority.

Let's say yeah that it can humble anyone but only when the time of election has come. They feel like they've been the best public servants of all time and I'm speaking about the corrupt ones because I still have that hope in some good countries, they've got the best leaders that has political will and the heart to serve their people and those are the actual humble ones.

Politics is indeed a game of interest. What baffles me the most is when people despise you because of your political beliefs or affiliation, which may differ from theirs. Family and friends despise you for what you believe in and who you support for a political position.

Family and friends who can hate you because of your political beliefs and affiliation, in my opinion, never wanted you in the first place; the love was never genuine, and they were only pretending to like you rather than loving you for who you are. Politics should be treated as a passing phase in life, and people should recognize this and stop harboring grudges and jeopardizing their relationships with loved ones.

I have to agree with you on this, politics is the dirtiest thing in this world, people who do politics have nothing they dare not do, they are willing to give up everything to get power, even to destroy their loved ones. I don't know if there are any countries in the world that have good politicians who always sacrifice and think for the people, but what I see in my country or neighboring countries, it's all garbage, dirty the most I've ever seen.

Politics is simply a game of interest where the winner may not necessarily be the brightest mind.But beyond the game of politics one thing is certain,"the country is way bigger than the individual political participants ", therefore,the overall interest of the nation should be pivotal.

I have seen a few in Japan, although it could be a bias video that I've watched and there could be prefectures there that have a different actuality with what we think of.

But overall, it's a country that's full of respect, polite people and their culture is really different. If a politician there is found and caught to be doing something else which is out of their scope and does corruption, they're the ones to do harakiri.

I haven't been there though and I don't know a lot on their politics and I've just watched a couple of videos showing how good their politicians are but behind that, there could be way way more things that I and we don't know much.

Politics can humble those in it, it can affect those who rely on it and also disturb those who uses it to achieve any of their personal interest, if you partake in a political race during an election and did not win doesn't mean it has silenced you, your value still remains in the people's heart because they want you and that is if you win the election but was not given because of rigging, also those that think only their money and influence can buy them a political ambition but things changed along the way got humbled as well in politics.

Just want to add, in the world of politics, there are no permanent enemies. all of them can be friends, comrades, enemies, it all depends on importance. whether it's individual interests, group or party interests. In politics, there are no black or white names. everything is cryptic, and as we agreed. that in the end, everything boils down to interests.

So, is politics dirty, wrong, corrupt? the answer is no. but there are many people who carry out politics in a dirty way, so politics sounds very dirty, even though if there is no politics, we are not recognized by other countries, aka not independent. actually politics is not wrong, even there is knowledge. but what is wrong is when rotten people cunningly play politics, politics is not corruption, but not infrequently some officials play politics only for corruption.

But by the way, I actually don't like political stuff.

In a case whereby one is rejected by family and friends in politics that means such person has no good record to show. The masses will always love a politician who is competent to work and had the people at heart.  Politicians with this qualities I don't think they will be rejected by the people,  it is only policians who are human disaster that people will stand against. Politics is just a game different from every other games, that politicians cam do anything to be at the top.

Well in politics there is no permanent friends only permanent interest, your enemy today could be your ally tomorrow, and here in our country that's what exactly is happening, whoever is in power politics will go there and pledge their allegiance, turncoatism, is very rampant because we do not have a two-party system just like they do in the US, politics here in our country never accept defeat in an election they always accuse the other party of cheating.
So if you want a peaceful life don't be involved in politics or even let your family be part of the politics.

Politics can humble anyone, especially the candidates vying for one elected position or the other. During campaigns, you see politicians becoming more humble like never before, reaching out to all class of human without discrimination, giving listening ears to people, honoring occasions and invitations, enduring insults and mingling with all class of people in the quest to win the heart of the people and gain their votes.

Life is politics itself. In whatever that we are doing there must be people to pilot the affairs. Politics is part of our life because in colleges, universities, churches and even in prison. There must be a leader,and it is only through elections that we can vote for our choice of government. Politics is not a dirty game rather it is the politicians that are dirty mentally.

The bitter thing is that these politicians can only by humble during campaign periods and elections, after that they become proud and arrogant. Why we think that politics is a dirty game is because of the people who are involved in it. They are already evil before they became politicians ,that is why they would go extra length just to be in power. It is time that the good and upright people engage themselves in politics to make a difference.

Politics means now is whoever has the power, you support him and when he loses it, you gonna go against him and support the next one if you want to be able to stay in the power. As for the war against their families in politics, it's all about money because the one at the top doesn't care about his relatives and the people below him and he is greedy enough to take everything even the money that is supposed to improve their place. When that happens, someone always came up with a plan to assassinate him/her, and the sad thing about it is even their families will go against them instead of supporting them just because of money and power. This is mostly what happening right now no matter what country it is.

There is a definition of politics as "the art of lying".
This is absolutely true. Politics is knowing how to lie, when to lie and to whom you lie.

Politicians live their whole lives like actors, pretending to the people that they are righteous and good while in fact they are lying thieves, also representing that they entered the elections to achieve the interests of the people while in reality they seek to achieve their personal interests.

You can measure that on all matters of their public and private lives.

While I mostly agree with you, we cannot forget there are politicians who are better than others. Our universal history has some examples of presidents and prime ministers who are loved a reminded to this day, for one reason. They were not perfect, obviously, they also committed mistakes and had to bid for power but once they got their position, did mostly right.

In the end, from my point of view politics is a necessary evil to humanity, otherwise civilization as we know it would not be possible.

Talking about bad politicians, you should check this guy out.

Politics is a dirty game, and in some countries it involves blood shed, because they will want to enter that position by any means, and when they have gotten power they will not even think of serving the masses, and they will not want to leave power when thier tenure is over, politicians are never humble, they are only humble when they are contesting that is the time for election, they will make you believe that they are God sent, but just wait let they enter that sit then you will now see how demonic and wicked they are, even to there children will become very rude.

Politics is like gambling or game people do play every time so i believe that nothing in politics that is being sincere or trustworthy so that is why many people who find their self in politics always being selfish, so politics is a game of personal interest and they can never depart to be a game of personal interest because of its life pattern

Politics can only humble those that see it as a career or do and die affairs. Politics is a game, once you see it that way. It will never humble you.politics is a game of interest, you don't win today, plan well you will win tomorrow. Instead of using violence to get yourself into office, allow free and fair elections in your areas. So that the outcome of the election or appointment will not break your down.

Yes, it's truly a dirty game.

Those that have tasted power in the public office will crave for more and might do a lot of things just to be back at it again. They know how much they can get from it but this is at least for those corrupt places and countries.

There are still good countries that has kind and good leaders.

They'll tell you all the kindest words that you'll like but then after election and when people are in need, they are nowhere to be found.

At first I smiled,  that was why Harold gave the concept on politics as who gets what, how and when. In the political game everybody is involved, both children and adults. Politics is all about domination or power. And if anyone acquired power and exercise that power among men then that is politics. Now how to acquire the power is where the game comes in. You must play your card very well to acquire the power. I will used just concluded Nigeria Presidential Election. The prefer candidate of the large masses was edge out but the ruling class because he does not belong to the casino group (those who belong the cartel). According to Aristotle, human being is a political animal, because what happens in the jungle happens in the human society. Everyone want to rule. And Hobbes said, human being is perpetual in power and that only ceaseth when he died.
All these quotes mean that man is centered with politics and only the experts ( best game players) climb to the top.

Politics is a party. A person will support the team he likes, maybe the opposite of you. But truth will always be in the way of justice, politics is to realize one's own interests. It is the biggest sadness that in the present politics, the members of one's own family also work for others.  People can do everything for self interest but most in politics.

Everybody know that politics it is a game people play for their own personal interest not for any person's interest so I believe that why it is a game or personal interest the same thing that makes politics a dirty game so everything only thing ever be a pure interest  to anyone either something interest you on it

Whatever our differences, let’s look for deeper unities we can rest upon and promote, such as Generosity, Kindness, Dignity, Respect, and Freedom. And let’s explore how common values and a shared desire to solve common problems might help us move forward together.

Lots of politicians right now are becoming greedy and think more of themselves than the people in their country, its like they enter in politics not for the people but for the money and power. Just like what happening in our country right now, during the elections they show to people their platforms where it looks good but its different to what it is right now, inflation keeps higher as months goes by. Many promises have been broken by many politicians. Its so hard to find good politicians right now, once you got voted wrong all people in your country will supper. Its just sad to say but that is the truth happening right now. Personal interest over whats good for the people of my country. so if in your country politicians are humble and think the people of first, you guys are so lucky.

Politics is a game of personal interest, my interest might be different from yours that why our choice of candidates and political party will be different,
On a normal note politics is supposed to be a game that should be free and fair but our Politicians are making it look very dangerous because of their high hunger for power and money..
 Your brother been against you in politics is not my problem because your brother's interest might be different from yours, my only concern is that, As brothers ( family) don't allow politics come between the love you share as family, play the politics only outside your home because the candidate you might be working for in any party today can defeat and be a member of the party he is fighting today..

Just as it's said in politics, there's no permanent friend and there's no permanent enemy... let's be wise

Obviously yes. But the hard fact about politics is that you cannot ignore it. It exists in all spheres of our economy and life. If you go to government there is poltics to win elections, if you go to bureaucracy there is politics to get better positions, if you see corporate there is corporate politics to gain big positions as soon as possible. So yes even though politics is a war of interest it's not at all possible to complete remove it from our lives.

Even though politics shape the society, I feel politics in some part of the world is so corrupt that everyone is after their personal need, no one is thinking of how to better the society, no transparency because we don't understand how the politicians are doing with the money and power bestowed to them.
