My spiritualism is leading me to general ideas of basic rights of man, however i am also keenly aware that truth for me is not truth for the next guy, etc, and I'm also keenly aware that my truth is no better or worse than the next guys...so that's the catch, how am I going to engage in civic processes, tell you or anyone else for that matter that you are wrong for fearing illegal immigrants and I am right for not fearing immigrants, or I am right because I think healthcare should be accessible and we should have to pay commensurate taxes to ensure this and you are wrong because this is not what you think. And then we're going to legislate one version of this truth: either yours or mine...you get what I mean, I don't really know how to resolve this. Because the way I'm seeing it, the only changes I can feasibly make are with myself, and the decision not to get engaged with the broken system. I'm kind of treating it the way i treat the 2nd graders, when they act rowdy, rude, disrespectful and out their mind, I ignore them; ignoring them shows them I don't care for that behavior and they better come with it and fix their faces or else they don't get my attention. I'm standing on the sideline right now, choosing to not engage, wondering why I should pay attention to this shamble of a system, when there is no such thing as compromise, merely varying degrees of us vs. them. I'm not interested.
One thing I do know is, as a country that was 'founded' on the ideas of 'freedoms' especially religious freedoms, I think its really really ugly what we as a populous are choosing to pay attention to and extremely shortsighted
