Oops. Missed the big tie-in to the election with yesterday's post.
Politics is a perfect example of what I said.
Again, briefly:
These two statements are true.
1. We are all on our own
2. We are all in this together
Each of us has our own balance between the two, as evidenced by our thoughts and actions.
And, very simply, what politicians get wrong is that they should constantly, and consciously, be working for the good of the many, and what we see over and over again is that these people pursue the job for selfish reasons. Money, power, money, attention, money, self-aggrandizement…whatever hole-in-the-soul they need to fill, here’s a great way to get it.
I like to imagine who people were in high school, as a way of typing their personality. Politicians are the easiest to figure. We all know who they were.
