A man I was once close to
said to me, “I know I’m right; I’ve thought about his.” I didn’t have it in me to laugh, but this
statement had a humorous side. He implied
that only he thought about things when of course, I had thought about it too
and arrived at a different conclusion.
Since I was “in love’ with
this man, it hurt, but even then, I knew it was funny. Maybe all this fighting and drama of American
politics has embedded in it a large chunk of humor too. However, there is tragedy
and suffering as well.
When I repost the
articulate arguments from the analysts on my side of the issue, it’s all beautifully clear. When I try to care about all sides, it
becomes an inarticulate mess. I don’t
believe all sides are equal, but there is a theory, that everyone is doing his
or her best. What if that is true? If we believed it, wouldn't we try to find a
new way to communicate?
