不談政治 No politics

我想寫下這篇文章,不談政治(我就是想把中文文字紀錄下來,母語寫的文字更動人心弦。)


許多人認為不談政治是明智的,因為他們害怕爭論。但是這樣的表態透露出危險的信號,說明對政治的恐懼已經深入人心。同時,這也暴露出社會言論空間日漸收縮的壓迫感正在向我們逼近。


我想,不能談論政治的前提,是我們需要先明確什麼是政治?


政治像迴旋鏢,無論你如何甩開它,它終究會回來找你。政治就是管理,雖然並不是每個人都能直接參與管理。但是懷疑是接近政治的開始,開始了解制度、監督制度,甚至產生使命感去推翻僵化的製度。這不是搞政治,而是改變生活品質。然而,人們往往害怕改變,所以會習慣性地催眠自己不去懷疑。置之死地而後生。人往往是因為憂關生死,才會覺醒,方有行動。


如果人們還堅持將政治看成國家的鬥爭工具,那麼政治執政者就直接管理著我們的社會。社會是由教育、文化、法律、經濟、醫療、交通等構成的思想骨牌,所以當我們看到一個問題浮出,代表的是又一張骨牌倒下,隨後其他的議題也會一個接一個地出現。


政治的真正主角是民眾,民眾和政治是相互依存的。因此,當民眾遠離政治時,並不能帶來幸福和安全。相反,接近政治並不意味著不幸和危險。因此,人民必須先“自強”,政治才會有方向。自強的方式就是多與身邊的人交談,共同探討,而不是一味地抱怨和謾罵。生活就是政治,讓我們一起談論政治。 不談政治,常挂在口,

看似聰明,卻很危險。

政治如回力鏢般迴旋,

躲也躲不開,誰都明白。


最大的政治,不是選舉,

而是選擇,是否要說出口。

民眾是政治的主角,

若不發聲,如何變革?


政治管理社會的各領域,

教育、法律、經濟與文化,

只要有一塊倒下去,

牽動著生活中的一切。


不要怕去懷疑和瞭解,

政治不該只是官場的鬥爭。

每個人都能接近政治,

改變生活的品質與方向。


不談政治,等同於放棄,

讓他人取代決策的權利。

最大的政治,是我們的選擇,

為了未來,勇敢發聲出擊。 I want to write this article "No politics" (I just want to record Chinese text, as words written in one's mother tongue can be more moving).


Many people believe that avoiding politics is wise because they fear arguments. However, this stance reveals a dangerous signal that the fear of politics has penetrated our hearts. At the same time, it also exposes the oppressive feeling of the shrinking space for social discourse that is approaching us.


I think that the premise for not discussing politics is that we need to clarify what politics is.


Politics is like a boomerang; no matter how you throw it away, it will eventually come back to you. Politics is management, although not everyone can directly participate in it. But doubting is the beginning of approaching politics, starting to understand the system, supervising the system, and even generating a sense of mission to overthrow rigid systems. This is not about doing politics but changing the quality of life. However, people often fear change, so they habitually hypnotize themselves not to doubt. Only when we are in danger, do we awaken and take action.


If people still insist on seeing politics as a tool for national struggle, then political rulers directly manage our society. Society is made up of the intellectual dominoes of education, culture, law, economy, healthcare, transportation, etc. So when we see a problem arising, it represents another domino falling, and then other issues will appear one after another.


The real protagonist of politics is the people, and the people and politics are interdependent. Therefore, when people stay away from politics, it does not bring happiness and safety. On the contrary, approaching politics does not mean unhappiness and danger. Therefore, people must first "strengthen themselves," and then politics will have direction. The way to strengthen oneself is to talk more with the people around us, explore together, rather than just complaining and vilifying. Life is politics, let us discuss politics together.

I wrote a pome about that.

Not talking about politics is often said,

Seems smart, but it's dangerous.

Politics like a boomerang spinning round,

Can't avoid it, everyone understands.


The biggest politics is not elections,

But the choice of whether to speak out.

The people are the protagonists of politics,

If they don't speak up, how can they transform?

Politics manages every field of society, Education, law, economy, and culture,

As long as one falls, It affects everything in life.


Don't be afraid to doubt and understand,

Politics should not be just a struggle in the officialdom.

Everyone can approach politics, Changing the quality and direction of life.

Not discussing politics is equivalent to giving up,

Letting others take over the decision-making power.

The biggest politics is our choice,

For the future, speak up bravely and attack.
