Everybody in this world has become a big politician and they try to be tactful and diplomatic in each and every thing they do. Everybody plays some or the other kind of politics even in their close relationships, whether it be for the good or bad cause..Do you play the same kind of politics with your family members, near and dear ones and even friends either to win their trust and confidence or to get everyone on your side.....

Every one is diplomatic to a degree there are some things in my ethics I won't back down on and others I might some . I don't see myself as the other politicle ways I don't lie or say every thing people want to hear so I get brownie points .I might do alittle white lies does this look bad etc but big stuff no I don't lie about I rather keep my princables then people like me .No politician is that way .

I guess I do play politic with family members, I try to get them to do the right thing. try to tell them the best way to do a certain thing.

Yes of course we don't to much have a choice. I think it is regular human nature to play politics with your family and friends. You of course want everyone to get a long and like I said it's just normal.

Well, of course. Those who don't end up living alone or have no friends. All humans experience the desire to say and do things that would make them a lot of enemies. By "playing politics" we can moderate our speech and behavior to be more acceptable. Politics only becomes bad when used for a bad purpose.
