Anything at all

If you take a step back from most politics, today. In America and all over the world. The clearer it becomes. Living and dying by the sword, and such.

And I think the one thing that most disappoints me, most, today, with the ugliness and mean-spiritedness that has taken the world by storm. And left a wake of reaping from all that sowing.

Is that our pride is, often, so strong that we would rather die by that sword than just choose another.

Some people, that is.

Most people just don't know what to do to make it better, is the truth.

And everyone is afraid that if they were to lay down their sword, then only destruction is in store for them.

And so the justifications for the whole dance of insanity goes.

Why any of us would invest ourselves in this mess of politics and power like it has more honesty to it than it does, I will never know.

Perhaps we shouldn't.

Perhaps that's the most important lesson of all from politics. And power. How rarely, if that, it makes us better.

At anything at all.
