Politics

One (maybe the only) advantage to the Corona virus epidemic is it has provided something other that presidential election politics to talk about.

But politics are everywhere.

One definition of the word, politics, is “a conflict between people or groups trying to achieve power.”

I know some people who have stopped attending any church because of bad experiences with church politics.

But nobody is likely to say they’ll never set foot in any office again because they’ve experienced office politics.

And even how to deal with the virus has become a matter of politics.

Do people wanting to reopen everything or people wanting to remain cautious have the most power?

What about those who think we should keep wearing masks vs those who don’t?

Any time more than two people are together politics happen.

But, guess what! There’s a solution!

We can be polite to each other and agree to disagree, while respecting each other’s point of view.

Someone who chooses not to wear a mask can avoid getting close to people who do wear them.

We can vote for different candidates without being nasty about it.

As old song says, “Come on people, now let’s get together and love one another right now.”
