British Colonies

I strongly agree that politicians should NEVER place the needs of those close to them above societies. Politicians are elected for one specific reason: to better our nation. People take their votes into deep consideration because they think it will matter in the end. How can it matter if these politicians disregard the people's needs and focus on the needs of their friends and family? Politicians should be widely regarded as trustworthy people; however, what kind of precedent do they set if they act selfishly and bask in luxury? By doing this these politicians tear down the foundation of faith. Our nation is built upon these simple but fundamental principles, that if broken result in a downward spiral of corruption throughout the system. Who will be there to care about the little people if all the big people care about is themselves and their paycheck?

Nothing in the world can ever be compared to the pain of being betrayed by a family member. An attack by an enemy also stings, but only for a little while. An enemy can always be abandoned. Their small, petty attack on your looks or your personality will all fade in time. This person will soon be someone you met, you hated, and you forgot. A betrayal by a family member is much different. These were the people who tickled your tummy when you were a rosy-cheeked toddler; they were the people you grew up with and travelled through imaginary worlds with. You connect with family forever, but no ties are required with enemies. That is why I believe a betrayal by a family member is far worse than an attack by an enemy.
