Politics = Mind Games

Isn't politics all about mind games and who can play it better? 

I hate how everything seem to rely on mind games to make it go round. 

You give me oil or I'll shoot you and make the whole world hate you. I do not like you so I'll make things difficult for you. I'll make you think this way through my acts but it may not be true. I'll put you in such a difficult position that you'll have no choice.

I always try to say what I mean but every so often, I'm forced to do what's "right" or say the "right" things just to be "politically correct". I'm forced to say something I do not mean and what I would usually not do or say just to prove a point. I'm forced to admit theories but that in an actual situation, means an entire different thing. 

Sometimes, it all just feels like a web. And sometimes, it can feel all too tiring.
