In Politics.....

When the search for truth is confused with political advocacy, the pursuit of knowledge is reduced to the quest for power.

  2. when people try to teach unknowing people knew things it can turn for the worst. knowledge gets kicked aside and authority steps in. i think thats what our nation is built on POWER.

  4. I think this quote means that we either search for the truth or we quest for the power. When we search for truth, politics and the difference of opinions occur then the knowledge that we obtain can be changed because of that person's opinion so we now look ahead to overpowering that person with our power and knowledge.

  6. This quote means that when people go into politics and in the government, they can become crooked. A lot of people in the government and politics are liers and crooked people. People can also lose their purpose or focus when they enter into politics and go power hungry or power crazy. This quote can also state not to lose your focus. Stay on your goal and let nothing get mixed within it.

  9. This qoute is sayin; We hear the truth it's just that, we don't want to accepted it because it involes us or something or someone, we have put our all into. We often sometimes, let our power of knowledge take over. To much of our character,meaning we let the position we are in go beyond a certain extense.

  12. In politics they are debated and choice that have to be made. This choices and debated are the reason why we are in a dump. In politics you have to stay on your word. Even though you have to stay on your word by yourself. When you are in politics you have to have the love for it. Or you gone to end up quiting on it

  14. People sometimes change their truth to do what is politicaly correct. When the truth is hurtful we could be punished for it by society. So instead of seeking knowledge, we sometimes seek political statements and power. Because with power comesa chance to change, people sometimes strive for that. Although, when some people getthat power they abuse it !

  15. this quote means sometimes people may want the truth out of things not knowing what to expect.It could be good or badd and sometimes the bad things could hurt but you have to find the strength to deal with it.Then as far as power its upon you to be able to do whats expected of you and take matters into your own hands the right way because you cant control no one else but yourself.

  16. This to me means that when truth is confused you can mix up trying to find knowledge with looking for power. That you can't confuse seeking knowlegde with a quest for power.That when looking for good you have to over look the bad.

  17. What this means to me is that through the quest to find the wisdom you get lost in all the lies and tails of the world and what you seek to know you will think it will give you power when it only gives you knowlegde and wisdom which can be mistaken for power

  18. This means that you shouldn't get confused in trying to find who you are. You must stay on the path that you choose for yourself. If you try to find to much you may lose yourself.So keep in touch with yourself. Make sure you know you before anyone else.

  19. This means to me .That you led to kno if your truthful or not. Know who you are. To get the concept and understand what you wanna do in life. Or you can mix up trying to do what you like other than what your good in.

  22. The meaning of this quote to me is that, when you try to find the truth about something, it can get mixed up with other things thats not important. Meaning when other people say things to you about a certain situation, doesn't mean it is always true. Having to say this means that you get the truth mixed up with the real story. When you do listen to what not is truth you, dont really have the knowledge to find the real truth and information. So in conclusion if you dont believe what someone is telling find the truth or just ignore it.

  25. Now days people go by how much power you have, then by the things you know. The truth can sometimes get lost in any and everything else. Instead of focusing on the right thing we focus on the negative. We get mislead and then wonder why things dont go right.

  26. To me this is saying that people get so caught up in politics they lie to get their way for social power or wealth..Once they set their mind onto their goal they will stop at nothing to do what they have to

  29. I think this means that we sometimes think to get knewledge we have to rule the world. We don't have to be at the top to know everything because their are always things that we won't know.

  30. The search for the truth can be a confusing and long journey at times.When all your doing is trying to find the truth and its confused with supporting someones idea it can get pretty ugly. Some people get so tied up into trying to find the truth or otbain knowledge that they get power greedy. They become something they're not. It'll take them a while to get back on track. They'll have to eventually feel that they've lost their purpose in order to get back on track.

  31. This quote means to me that people sometimes think they have to lie just to get what they want. Well eventually that person you lied to will find out the truth. You think lieing is the right thing to do sometimes but its really not. In order to get what you want there comes a time in life where you have to put forth effort. Telling a like will not get you what you want. It will just make the situation worse!

  32. This quote is saying that when we have our opinion on politics, sometimes we go overboard with our attitudes. We want our opinion to be heard. So therefore, we're going to argue until it is heard. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Don't turn to violence just so it can be heard.

  33. If you set out for the truth of a matter one that is controversial often times ones searching is to no avail. The result of controversial issues such as racism, and a person’s gender, replies are given from a very complex or political point of view. Governmental policies are brought out and much politic jargon is shoved through the media confusing the truth even more. Once a person has been worn out with trying to find real truths the political voices dismiss all issues by indirectly saying you can’t handle the truth.

  34. What this meeans to me is that buisness(politics) and fun are in two totally different areas. Theres a time to play and a time to be serious. When you become serious yousometimes lose that fun mind set and go on a quest to have it all(power).You cant always sit back and enjoy the show sometimes you have to run it.

  35. To me this quote means when you lie you begin to have that problem and you will get addicted to lien. And when you lie you begin to make it a habit and that is the power of it.

  36. It means to me is that the world is ran on power not brains.Confusing self emotions with politics could be very bad in the end because the slightess mistake could mess up a hold bunch of documents. Or could cause a war. Because your emotional feelings your life is going threw. So you decide it would be ok to deo bad things to other people because what behind closed doors.

  37. What this means to me is that it is sometimes hard to tell the truth based on what it is but the power of the lord can set you free and lead u into the right path.

  38. I think this means that you should start telling the truth and never lie. If you lie to anyone, I think it will come back to you. You have to be serious in life and focus on what you want to do in the future.

  41. Finding truth isn't determined on your political or social status. It's found by living life and going through obstacles to understand wrong from right and the true meaning of things. If you believe that power will help you know the reality of things, then your morals are set on exterior concepts. Power isn't everything. Don't become a person that's destined to find qualifications. Be someone who looks for truth.

  42. I think this means that when you lie you are trying to get what you want even if you know you dont deserve it,and when you are trying to pursuit knowledge while lien you reduce the quest for power

  43. what this quote is saying is when someone tries to find the truth other people power gets in the way. Sometimes you want the truth but the big headed person trying to bring you down.The other this is saying is dont let anyone make you be quiet say what you got to say and tell everyone to listen because there will be one person trying to bring you down.

  44. This qoute is saying that people who become politicians they feel they have to lie to maintain their politicial power. They feel they have to keep thier power by lying. They lie to maintain their goal of staying in the game.

  45. People will do anything to get power, whether it's lying, stealing,or cheating.Knowledge plays into power because in all truth you only know as much or as little as the person over ruling you(in theory).

  46. This quote is saying that sometimes people working with the law dont always work for whats right . They work for what will make them number one . I feel its nothing wrong with being number one but only for the right reasons ! Work to prove the truth , or for what will better our society !

  47. I think it means that even a little lie can make a big difference, and that some people lie to get far ahead in life, but its really no use of lying because its going to catch up to you in the future.Some people lie when they are scared or under pressure, but if you just calm down and handle the situation properly you will find out that even though the truth might hurt at least you know you did the right thing

  48. What i am getting from this is that in that type of field, every one starts off with the truth and wanting to do the right thing.Then end up in just wanting power so thats when people start putting white lies in to motion.
    The reason i feel that way is because everyone can not handle the truth.

  49. In politics you have to be true to yourself and your word. In politics you have to make judgements and choices that effect not only you but the people you are over. In some cases you might to stand alone but if it the truth , do the right thing. In politics be truthful to you and the people that put you in that state

  51. This quote is saying that most politicians speak on the truth to gain power, but once they obtain that power they seem to allow the pusuit of power to take over there knowledge of doing the right things. They lose sight of whats right for the desire of having control.

  53. I believe this quote is saying in politics you will have power over certain things and you should tell the truth throughout the process instead of saying what sounds right because you have the will, and sooner or later the truth will have to be revealed.

  54. I believe it means that sometimes people get so caught up in having power that they forget why they are in a high position. Also in politics people may lie but they might not realize that even though they have power they still have to use it the right way, and know how to control it.
