They affect us all in some way."

"I have to admit, before I got involved in politics, I too shared the common belief that politics itself was inherently dirty. To me, this meant that anyone who entered politics was bound to engage in corruption, dishonesty, and compromise. This belief often leads people to think that people of faith should avoid public life altogether. However, when I eventually joined, I discovered something different. While it's true that many individuals act according to that cynical view of politics, I found that, with God's guidance, it's entirely possible to participate in politics without resorting to the "dirty" aspects that many associate with it."

Other landlords have agreed to forgive one month, others two and others the entire period."
