Voting: the winner demands the loser to behave.
Demands are not a harmonious way of life.
Say what you want about “it’s the best system available,” or “let’s work with what we’ve got.”
I’m in this for the long game.
The 500, or 5000 year long game.
I’m thinking about future generations.
The best way to spend time is to create a new world.
Not “work with” the current world.
A new world starts with Your One Life.
Operate in your sphere of control.
These activities serve the world better than voting:
Clean your bedroom.
Overhaul your diet.
Get out of debt.
Journal for 15 minutes straight.
Blog daily for 30 days.
Start a company.
Process your past.
Plan your future.
Raise your children without punishment/reward.
Learn to get quality sleep.
Break your addictions.
Volunteer to hold premies at a children’s hospital.
Learn NVC.
Get real.
Clean out your junk drawer.
Really. Cleaning your junk drawer does more for the world than voting.
Cleaning your junk drawer is 1% progress in sorting out your own life.
Sort your life out. Take response-ability. Increase self-esteem. Love yourself. Love your children unconditionally. Get creative. Do what makes you come alive.
Become filled with joy – and share generously.
Better to light a candle than to curse the gathering darkness.
If you’re not working on yourself, you can’t complain.
