from the mind of critic-10/19/16

From the mind of critic: “If we constantly rail on the other side for not talking about the issues, saying we want somebody who will bring positive change by immersing themselves in ideas that will benefit us all, but then we turn around and vote for somebody because they tug at our heart strings, completely forgetting what we said we cared about, is it any wonder we get 2 candidates nobody likes? Are we trying to look good in front of our friends by telling them anything they wanna hear, only to do and say whatever we want anyway when they’re not around? Do we have sinister thoughts about trying to take advantage of everybody and everything, because although we say we care about others, when really, we only care about ourselves? Or have we never paid attention or cared about what’s going on in the world, but now that everybody is going nuts, we figure we should too? Politics always has been and always will be a reflection of our society. If politicians or those seeking office are two-faced, are constantly flip-flopping or hold differing opinions depending on who they’re around, is it any wonder that we let it be known that there are things we don’t talk about? Maybe we’re afraid to tell people what we really think, because we’re afraid we’ll be judged, and we can’t stand somebody not liking us. Is it any wonder we’re willing to say anything to anybody? If we ever hope to not have an election where we have to decide between douches and turds that make our skin crawl, we must be authentic, speak from the heart, and not care if somebody doesn’t like us. When we free our minds, we free our souls. And free souls are the only place politicians should come from” 🙂
