i've blogged before about my involvement in the political realm this winter/spring. i was nominated to be a delegate, which i never imagined in a million years. a few things i must admit....#1 is that i've realized what a privilege it is to live in a country where people really get a say in matters. even though the process can be long and tedious, regular people are given a voice. that's phenomenal. #2 is that the people who really devote themselves to the process are quite inspirational. they literally give everything. how easy it is to take them and their devotion for granted. so much is accomplished for the sake of others..so much fought for...with really no recognition. #3 is that it's time to stop being a "side lines" citizen. one of the major arenas that our culture's dance with entitlement gets to bloom is in the government. people must stand up and say "no more!".
with that said i have to highlight one frustration. hehe! i'm sure this exists in all political parties too, but i found it shocking how much i would internally react to it. i...can't...stand...games. oh my gosh, there are some people who come out to these events carrying all of their conspiracy theories, emotional and relational immaturities, dysfunctional behaviors, etc. they prance around like self-proclaimed messiahs spouting their "insights" into the "enemy strategies" (fyi...against their own "kind") when really most people think they are puffed up psychos with oodles of "weird". they exact these plans and alliances based on their own passion for power and bully around. fortunately, sometimes they actually lose!! let me just say again...i...can't...stand...games.
pheww...feels good to vent it all. ;) it was definitely an educational experience, and i'm thankful!
