Why Politics is a Petty Thing

I've always questioned why someone or groups of people should be politically active.  I know I'm politically active, but like everything in life, it's really meaningless.  There is only a very few things in the political realm that has survived a decent period of time.  People's interpretation is always askew in their priorities, thinking that a group of representatives can be benevolent enough to represent everyone else.  By far this is a farce, for too many people have individualistic natures, even though common ground can be made for many things; however, people are horrible flip-floppers like Mitt Romney. 

Life is too short to be overly concerned with politics, and the more radical viewpoints shove out the moderate voices which is the majority.  I'm baffled daily that people trust that what happens in various capital's around the world is really ground-breaking work, but it's really not.  Government is by extension a reflection of humanity's indecisiveness, assertiveness in it's own knowledge and in-admittance to the deep imperfections in every individual on this blue planet.  We try to fix things in which are impossible due to our inherent unsavory natures.  We are bringing about an objectively fair world in a world that by it's nature is and forever will be unfair. 

It is admirably to fight the good fight to right the wrongs of the world, but it's a fruitless battle of the ages in which man has yet to win, and probably never win.  The sun rises and sets on history everyday and mankind keeps moving on with the latest evolution of politically correct politics in which is rooted in shallow opinion. 

Good people stay out of politics for good reasons, mainly because it's petty and you can live your life to one's content for the most part if you choose to do so.  Sure, there are those 'white knights' out there seeking appropriate justice and equality for all, but so few are remembered... yet being remembered is not important.  It is just politics is petty since it is, generally speaking, is laying out an opinion of what is perceived to be right or wrong.  It changes with the tides of history, but I suppose I have better things to say what is right or wrong to make it a constant line in the sand and forcefully shouting it out to the rest of the world that this is the way it is and it won't change.  It may not change for me, but I feel I'm wasting my time swaying people to my opinion anyhow.  So instead, I just go out living, doing what I need to do to live life to the fullest, because time can be better spent on other things then arguing endlessly on opinion.
