Politics & Conflict!

People bind themselves into political teams that share moral narratives. Once they accept a particular narrative, they become blind to alternative moral worlds.

“If there is one secret of success it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from their angle as well as your own.”

Some degree of conflict among groups may even be necessary for the health and development of any society.

We are indeed selfish hypocrites so skilled at putting on a show of virtue that we fool even ourselves.

But don’t label others, and don’t get attached too deeply with the party you voted for.

You are not your political ideology, you are not the candidate you vote for.

People who vote DMK aren’t pro-dynasty, or people who vote for Modi aren’t anti-Muslim. People who vote for Kamal Haasan aren’t pseudo-intellectuals.

We all have our practical reasons to root for the candidate we do.

Politics is all about pragmatism!
