This recall of the California Governor has us thinking about the ridiculousness of politics.<\/p>\n
I have other reasons to think about politics:
\nPERSONAL politics<\/p>\n
Things can get so scary so fast between people. Misunderstandings build up and then become an impenetrable wall.<\/p>\n
Sometimes you can walk away.
\nSometimes you can’t.<\/p>\n
I try to go back, chase the tangled ends of the thread. What happened? What went wrong? What did _I_ do, so I don’t do it again?<\/p>\n
HOW can I fix it?<\/p>\n
When I was younger, I was convinced that I would be able to fix these things. That I would work HARD and FIND the problem and MAKE IT RIGHT.<\/p>\n
As I get older, I realize that what I had formerly thought of as apathy in those around me was not quite that. To state it right out:
\nSometimes, you just have to let things go, do nothing and let time ease you past.<\/p>\n
Because that can really work sometimes! Amazing how so little effort can actually result in a big payoff.<\/p>\n
But it doesn’t work all the time.<\/p>\n
So I’m back to pulling on the threads of the knotty problem.
\nDo I leave it alone?
\nOr do I worry it a bit longer?<\/p>\n
I don’t know.<\/p>\n
What I _do_ know is that I’ve run across this problem before. And I also know that if you see a problem twice, the thing that is the same about those two problems is YOU. So what have I done to cause this problem?<\/p>\n
was I just worrying it again?<\/p>\n
These things make me so uncomfortable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
