Political language SUCKS!

Political language - and with variations this is true of all political parties - is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.

This statement was from George Orwell, an English novelist and essayist who wrote this statement in his book called Politics of the English Language..

From that statement, we can conclude that these are the things that are actually happening around us. The thing I mean here is the fact that this world is full of lies. I may call it a deceitful world where truths are prohibited but lies are spread. A pathetic fact that is unquestionably happening around us. Politics are the same. They are full of lies but still considered as truths. Very strange but it's normal. You cannot actually hope that politics are good because politics are just ways for humans to achieve their dreams. Politics never actually mention that we have to play the game fairly. Politics is completely different with football. In football, you are always encouraged to do fair play but you are not encouraged to do that in politics. It's not like that you're told to do fair play but it's directly from your heart that says you won't win anything when you're playing nice.

So, by looking at this statement there must be nothing popping out in our mind. HOW CAN ANYONE MAKE LIES SOUND TRUTHFUL? A question so hard to answer but so easy to be done. First, we have to look at the principles of lies. Lies are always the opposite of truths. Lies won't ever be mentioned as truths because these 2 things are just not supposed to be one. Second, we have to understand the meaning of political languages completely. Political languages are the things mentioned by people who want to achieve their dreams but they're not playing the game fairly. They will do anything to reach their dreams and they're really willing to risk anything just to get their hands on a single thing called power. So, the answer of the question above is very simple. A lie can sound truthful when you believe in it. You are too afraid to face the truth so that you don't believe in truth anymore. You are actually looking for a solution but the truth can't provide the solution so you pick lies as your truths. When you believe in lies, it will sound truthful while truths will sound deceitful. 

The second question  that may pop out in our mind is how can we make murders respectable? A difficult question to answer but when you're using political language, it may seem so simple. Murders aren't acceptable. It's a worldwide known fact. But, these days, things have gotten crazy. Facts are no longer considered as truths since people aren't believing in facts anymore. Just like what I said before. So, to answer the question actually it's very easy. Murders are  made respectable when they are claimed as the only way to bring peace. Murders are made respectable when they're claimed to be the only solution available. Murders are made respectable when they're done "in the name of the law". Somehow, political language has transformed murders into the only known solutions. That's massive but just stupid! The stupid part is that we are actually made to believe it! I can't believe the fact that I sometimes do consider murders as the only possible way out! How stupid and unbelievable that is! But, there's no need to say it loud and clear. Because no matter how hard you try, you will always lose when you're facing the LAW. You are just a sand in the Sahara when you're facing the LAW. It means you're hopeless and you are just going to loose. How pathetic but that's the fact! You are nothing in front of "the law". 

So, what can we do?
NOTHING! Just watch and learn that in this world lies win but that win won't be everlasting. Truth is always the mightiest and will always stay like that.
