I spent some time crafting a commentary on current affairs in and around Washington, D.C., and decided not to share it. There’s enough noise being made on that topic, and I’m not going to change your mind.
Most of us agree, I think, that the nastiness has gotten out of hand. Once upon a time there were no good guys or bad guys, we just disagreed, but nowadays you’re either a good guy or a bad guy, and if it turns out you don’t think like I do, it gets nasty fast.
Outside the halls of “power,” it seems we get along just fine, because we actually have a lot in common. We want to live in peace with our neighbors and we want to help neighbors who could use a hand, for example.
You noticed I put “power” in quotes, didn’t you? That’s because those bigwigs don’t have as much power as they’d like you to think. The key to happiness isn’t about choosing the right leader — the right leader of your life stares you in the face every time you look in a mirror.
Of course we see things differently — you’re you and I’m me. If we start there and proceed with love, everything’s going to be all right.
