people. Have you heard?
If you listen to what he really says, he is
saying that he wants to focus on those who
seem to need the most help. There are plans
in place to help the poor, and the rich - well,
they're rich.
Regardless of one's political leanings, there
is room to see his point, despite picking on
the words he chose to express it.
How often does that type of hearing get us into
trouble and arguments? How many times do we
hear something different than it was intended?
While there are considerations here, I would
suggest it is only a distraction to focus on
the delivery rather than the ultimate message,
and to create a cherry picked statement that
ultimately is no good to the greater cause.
I wanted to say no good to anyone, but it
would seem it might just help the cause of
anyone who is "anti"- Romney (which might just
be the point here?)
What would the world be like it we could focus
on the positives and the things we would like,
rather than on fear mongering, and the things
we want to stay away from? Some will say that
when voters go to the polls, they don't vote
FOR someone, but rather against someone else.
If you think about it...it isn't exactly an
empowering place to stand. It is so much
more powerful to make a choice than feel
defaulted into one. Is it no wonder that
some may be feeling a bit disillusioned
these days?
What would it take for us to come together?
We so desperately need to be looking out for
our commonalities than for arguing about to
handle our distinctions, and listening with
our heart more, instead of our head and ego.
I suspect that would be a start.
What do you think?
