Defining Ourselves

When defining ourselves, we often believe what we force our minds to see. We act as we are perceived, and to set yourself apart for the positive is nearly unheard of in our teenage years. Sometimes, we are unable to face up to our beliefs, and we live in lies; lies that keep us in denial. While living in a lie, we can do anything we want, because we are forced to act as others feel is necessary. We lose ourselves, and we lose those around us. It takes courage and strength to fight for what you believe in, and to remain faithful to your beliefs is not always simple. True character shows when nobody is watching.

As we are all growing up, we may wonder how to characterize ourselves as either a Republican, Democrat or Independent. What does it all mean? While focusing on non-partisan local politics is the basic foundation in understanding politics, lets focus on the next step in this blog.

We are given so many terms to follow: Conservative, Liberal, Right and Left. Sure, it is easy to simply agree with the person sitting next to you or your parents, but you should understand what you are in agreement with. Otherwise, ignorance is displayed, and that is what I'm trying to prevent. Take a dive into this quiz, and go beyond simply “red and blue”.

Always remain faithful to yourself. Sometimes, we have to divorce our minds from what we see, and what is real.
