As I’ve grown and matured one of my favorite sayings (to myself, mostly) is “Would you rather be happy or right?”. I find myself saying this when I am defending a point that seems important at the moment, but as I feel my energy shift to a more argumentative ‘me against them’ style, if I am lucky enough to catch myself, I will stop, notice what I’m doing isn’t for the good of all or keeping me in a loving space, or even convincing the other that I am right, and I decide to let go of winning the point and put a smile back on my face.
I would like to ask our national Republican politicians to consider this idea as they are financially running our country into the ground by being right all the time. If our political process doesn’t mature quickly and allow us to deal with the important issues facing the country, the sun will set on our empire as surely as it has set on all others. We are creating a financial divide between rich and poor that will not only lead to big problems, but why would anyone think that in a great country it is fair for there to be such disparity? We should all want everyone to have a good life, not many mired in survival issues while 1% of us eat cake.
C’mon you elected girls and boys, grow up and I’ll start calling you ladies and gentlemen. Do the right thing.
