So today I get a bunch of political campaign mail. It was all for Scott Brown. Two were for him, two were completely bashing him, and one of the bashers was anonymous. Am I the only one who's tired of this divide and conquer attitude? I know that it would make the military in Avatar proud, but they saw hell as a vacation destination compared to Pandora, and everyone who I know fell in love with Pandora.
As I sat with my frustration toward this cowardly-candidate-basher it occurred to me that we all have our moments when we feel threatened--that someone's holding us back--and all we know how to do is turn them into the enemy so we can conquer them. I know that I've done that and when I do, it keeps me up at night until I figure it out. I never really applied "divide and conquer" to my personal life or to the lives of my clients but between Avatar and the political campaign in MA, this tactic is so blatantly clear AND unattractive. So I'd like to thank this anonymous basher for volunteering to model this unattractive role so that humanity could see its darkness outside itself.
As for voting I am setting an intention for the candidate who will lead us out of divide and conquer and into Pandora and I hope you will do the same. Even those not voting have impact when they hold the intention for the highest and best for our country so lets all do it.
And at least we got some unexpected healing from this dog eat dog campaign. With the information gained from the bashing, we can address our own conundrums like the Na'vi and sleep easily. As for the politicians, not sure how they are sleeping, but I bet Kennedy is chuckling in the heavens over this ridiculousness.
