In the time of political elections there is so much attacking and blaming for the ills that beset us. It is always "someone else's fault" and "I am the one to make it better" -- promise's go unfulfilled and leave us feeling betrayed and bitter. For many disillusionment sets in, eventually apathy takes over. The cycle is one that keeps exactly the same process going. Truly the example of insanity, "doing the same thing expecting different results."
So many of these women and men genuinely want to make a difference and then when faced with a difficult choice cave into their egos of being right and sell their 'souls' to the party. The party by definition has no soul but is governed by the collective agenda of being right to preserve the party, not necessarily for solving the problems we have. The party in power cannot afford to recognize the goodness in the other even though doing so would resolve so much. But that would mean we must have been wrong which cannot be admitted or acknowledged. For progress sake we must be able to admit that we may be wrong and search for an alternative. And we must acknowledge that we are incomplete without the ones who point out our shortfalls.
