I just had a moment of awareness...

It seems like the response to "all politicians are liars" is to dumb down the political process. So, facts and science and proof and intellectual discourse in a "political" context are associated with lies. Actually, they are dismissed as lies (and those who suggest such concepts are also dismissed as liars).

Disregarding critical thought (or mocking it) only produces regression. We then resort to primitive ways of acting.

I know there are people from all walks of life with different backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, educational and career experiences, political and religious affiliations, creative pursuits, dreams and aspirations who know A LOT more than I do. I welcome them into my life. I don't dismiss them or mock them because they are different or know more than I do.

Curiosity to learn about life from others to help uplift humanity is a journey. Of course, it may be challenging but it can be so rewarding. Because you get to know someone and learn something.

Instead of politics, think humanity. Instead of politicians, think people. Instead of differences, think opportunities to learn.

Much love.
