markdohle 5,557 #1 Posted October 21 (edited) I got my ballot I got my ballot in the mail today. There have already been 21 million votes, I guess that is a record. I am weary of it all but hopeful. I hope that when this over, whoever wins, perhaps the next four years can be used to actually doing their jobs instead of all this partisan infighting. It is not about power, but about service. Yet I guess power is a strong drug, the cocaine of the spirit. It is up to us, the people, not our so-called leaders. When we fight each other, insult each other, we lose. If we can't find a way to come together, the split can become so wide that we will topple. It can happen, history is filled with toppled civilizations. The reason yelling at each other is so frustrating, is for the simple reason it is not communication, just a waste of energy that leads to further alienation. For those who have faith, pray, let go of anger, and do what we are commanded to do because it is so important: to not return evil for evil, not to hate, to stop the cycle of anger and recrimination. I am hopeful, but this is still dangerous times to live in.--Br.MD Edited October 21 by markdohle 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the13bats 10,186 #2 Posted October 22 . we can ask others to strive to be better citizens and better to each over but some only go by the example set by the countries leader. Im hopeful whoever wins acts in a respectable stately way fitting of the office of potus, not what has been seen the last 4, we see what that example has gotten us. Lets be hopeful together 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightAngel 9,110 #3 Posted October 22 I will give you the same reply as I just gave to you in your blog: This is a very positive message, my friend! It doesn't matter what people believe in because it's all about the mind/soul! My point is this - I'm not a Christian, but we still agree about the important stuff. I especially like this part "It is up to us, the people, not our so-called leaders" I couldn't agree more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
