The Passion of Politics!

If only people were as passionate about making a difference as we are in making political choices. How much control do you have after an election? Not as much as deciding on a choice. Economics plays out one way or another and the political system in place (depending on your choice) appears to be another race (sprint or crawl) to the bottom.

 

Lobbyist and special interest groups control the agenda of the election term.

We don’t.

Political blogs or rants receive more attention than a common blog, but I have to ask why? I generally abstain from political writing for a number of reasons.

The constant heated debates between political parties, bickering between one politician and another has shed some light on the possibilities of why we are so passionate concerning candidates.

·        It’s easy to have an opinion with a limited amount of choices.

·        The odds of winning or losing with your vote of candidates become slim.

·        Everyone believes they’re an expert.

·        If our political choice wins we believe everything is ok and if we lose, we spend four years blaming someone else.

·        We generally have no personal outcome, commitment or sacrifice involved.

The Meaningful Alternative

Far better to spend our time and energy doing something truly meaningful such as:

·        Feeding the hungry.

·        Helping the homeless.

·        Saving a  child from disease or prostitution.

What a true difference we could create in OUR society.

The world would be a better place today, tomorrow and four years from now!
