I am doing my absolute best not to comment on our current political situation but something I think has to be said. No not about a current person but it seems to me, and I am certainly not connected in any way to any of the candidates, that there is no one in their lives that speaks truth to them. It would seem by the behavior of our candidates that most people that surround them simply tell them that everything they want is good and true and that everything they’ve done is good and if it isn’t they have and excuse as to why it was someone else’s fault. This seems to be the state of the politics in the United States. Now here are some areas where I think we could improve as people.
- Be sure there are people in your life that will tell you the truth even if you don’t want to hear it. These are the people that mean the most because they will help protect you from the pride that overwhelms you.
- Assume the best in people. That is actually very hard to do based on some people but realize that for the most part people are doing everything they can with the information they have. It’s not always the best of what people have but others need some grace just like you do at times.
That’s all I’m going to say about the state of politics on this site and it was honestly more than I wanted but I think one of our big issues is that we aren’t living empathetic lives and we aren’t willing to be honest with others. Let’s work together and find some people who will say no and not just yes.
