Someday we will quit electing people to office who only see tearing things down as a solution. It takes greater imagination than that to do the will of the people. What really bothers me even more are people who get elected by dividing us from each other. We truly need leaders who are not afraid of what they do know and instead, actually have the courage to learn what they don't know. Most of the tearing down and dividing is done through labeling. They label this as bad or not good and then contort a rationale that has little to do with serving the common good. The politics of division have a long history in our governance and for it to stop we must not allow people to be elected who can only produce a vision for the future where equality, justice and fairness are sacrificed for the sake of some ideology that only benefits a few. The elimination of man made pain and suffering should have no enemies, yet we have too many politicians who will not address man made pain and suffering for reasons that escape my logic. I can only assume some nefarious purpose is being served and for that we are all lessened. A great society has the foundation of elevating it's citizens as it's golden rule. Where life exists there must be a regard for it's furtherance in both thought and substantive action. We must all be occupied with movement on this orb to keep our lives meaningful, why not focus on keeping ourselves active with goals that inspire us instead of depressing us?
