Politics

     I have come to a conclusion recently to actively attempt to disengage myself from politics.
     People of all positions sit around and complain about one administration or another, often motivated more by their biases and emotion. People have turned a multi-facited world into a false dichotomy, a fictional "Culture War" of Republicans vs. Democrats. We live in an America where one's ethnicity, class, or religion do not necessitate one's party alliance. Part of the reason for this I believe is because people are no longer limited to the geographical area of their birth or the trade of their father (if male) or motherhood (if female.) Although the United States is a classist society with a large gap between the rich and poor, there is a tremendous potential to follow your dreams.
     That's what I think is most important.
     I believe that every human being has a potential inside of them, an end goal, a teleology, and it is either society that dampers that human spirit, or guides it. I believe that if each of us became fully in-tuned with that driving vision within them, that we would be in a much better world.
     I was blessed from my birth to be in a position to be able to follow this inner light, and I believe that to follow it is not selfish act, but rather a manifestation of what I as a human being ought to do.
     If any good comes from my life, it will not be because of the rambling political opinions I shouted at another equally uninformed person, but from my true life work.
