Surviving politics

Political parties used to make their opponent the 'bad evil one' but now they make out something else to be the bad thing (that can't defend itself) which is also much easier to make sound like a horrifying monster, then blame the other side for not caring enough, not doing enough, not taking it seriously enough. This is fantastic when the monster is pretty close to what the other side believes or thinks is good, hitting them twice.
'survival bias' is strong with us. Please recognise most things aren't that bad, or if they are, why is there attention regarding it right now?

Controlling Mind Games

Normal people doing their best and making normal mistakes.
It's said that modern education and learning techniques discourage and punish mistakes,  so we instinctively avid things that we might get wrong... 

Ever had that person in your life that is always on your back or criticising you? No matter how much you do right,  they'll make a big deal about that one tiny mistake.

Is there a chance they don't want us to get it right? They aren't over critical,  they are looking for your flaws and failures,  they could be deliberately setting you up for failure...  We all want to be praised and accepted so often we work harder to please the person who cannot be pleased. Maybe we should ask ourselves what these people's motives are...  And if it's not about the spirit of or the ethic of,  then chances are its not the mistakes that are the problem...  To them, you are the problem!

They are the one with the problem,  not you. Its their problem, not yours and don't let it be, don't let yourself play their games...  Stop trying to get it right for them,  because in their eyes you probably never will.
