    This is something I've struggled with recently. Sometimes I stay silent due to fear of judgement. Other times I speak up but later regret it (not because I said anything particularly bad but because I inherently am averse to disagreement and like to be on good terms with everyone at my high school). 

     

    I very much enjoy legal writing and studying the law, which often necessarily becomes at least somewhat political. 

     

    Politics is the art of imposing your will unto others. Fear of judgment is your main problem, you will be judged regardless of what you say or don't. Opinions are inherently wrong, so are the people bearing them. If you want to be a leader, and the others to follow your beliefs, you need not to care what others think, or be afraid to make a mistake.

    Ultimately, one major issue is that I keep running into the fundamental problem that I find it very difficult to pursue a certain cause if I am not convinced that I'm doing the right thing! Thus, I begin to feel like political beliefs or "taking a stand" are crucial to living a meaningful life. 

     

    Life does not have a meaning if you have to do things to prove it to yourself that your life is meaningful. Evaluate your beliefs first and stand by them. You will be turning off people by not agreeing with them, it's okay. If you have good intelligence and open mind, with time your beliefs will evolve.

    They do.

     

    With a couple exceptions, they do not. If a master wants to convince someone, there is not an issue. The issue is whether people deserve to see it. 

     

    The other problem is that practitioner tends to think that he is the master based on number of years of practice, and whatever abilities he may have are not strong enough to manifest in the physical realm.
