Tonight I went to the Carroll County Democrats quarterly meeting. It’s always nice to hear ideas and see old friends, but tonight was particularly enjoyable as there were two university students there to speak to us. They gave us hope with their enthusiasm, for sure! I loved how the young man told us that everything we do is political, and so when we encounter folks who righteously say “I’m not political”, that’s simply not true. I agree wholeheartedly! Every time we shop at a farmers’ market, we make a political statement: real people over corporations. When we choose to give up using plastic whenever possible, we make a statement in favor of our Earth. When we choose Love over hate, we find peace and give it. Tonight’s young speaker also mentioned this, saying that whatever we do in campaigning for our favorite candidates must be done with love to be effective. Agreed! — and Namaste.
"'Love thy neighbor as thyself,' annihilates pagan and Christian idolatry, -- whatever is wrong in social, civil, criminal, political, and religious codes; equalizes the sexes; annuls the curse on man, and leaves nothing that can sin, suffer, be punished or destroyed." Mary Baker Eddy
