System of education
There is a system for everything we have in this life. People have created a lot of rules to make their lives not that scary and frightening. It is easier for them to live when they know for sure what to do with their lives. The system is like the manual for people and it free them of the opportunity to make choice and think about the next step. When we are born we are taken to kindergarten and we stay there until we are grown up enough to go to school. Than we spend certain amount of time at school and after we finish it we enter colleges or universities. And on the university or college one chooses depends his or her future. That is how people managed to organize their lives and this is the plan they follow no matter on what. It is like we make our choice about school or university but indeed there is no choice left for us to make, the choice is made by millions of those who lived before us. And they left the manual for us and we have to follow the rules of that manual. That is the system and it makes all people alike.

I was recently in a home with a beautiful couple that hold absolutely opposite views when it comes to politics. Interestingly enough, the couple could debate politics the same way that they could debate everything else. There was a loving difference between them that was not born to politics or any other topic, and it opened up a world of understanding for me. There are no lines between love and hate, especially when it comes to politics, unless we choose to place them there.
I listened on election night to McCain’s speech when it was clear that Obama was to take the presidency. There were jeers for the new President Elect, a clear and seething hatred coming from the crowd. Oddly enough, Obama later reached out to those people who had reacted to his good news with such disdain. We take politics so personally because we feel that our future is at stake. Yet just because we disagree when it comes to politics does that mean we can’t possibly live together and work together to make things better. If I look back at the couple with totally opposite views on politics the answer would have to be a resounding no. We can bridge those gaps that bipartisan politics creates and we can move forward as one whole unit. All we have to do is put aside the animosity that political parties create just through mere existence. That would be the aim of politics in the first place. We all just want things to get better and we want our lives to flourish, no matter what side of the fence we are on when it comes to politics.
