My [Non-Political] Blog

I feel like I was probably the only person who didn't post about the election yesterday.

Oh, and the only person who didn't post about their voting experience.

Or about the televised results.

Or about my opinion.

That's because I don't have much of an opinion.

I would consider myself an educated, intelligent person [also humble, so I have erased and retyped this sentence about six times as I pondered whether or not it sounded too bold. I know. I'm weird]. But there is one thing I just don't "get."

Politics.

It's not something I can study and eventually get myself comfortable with all of its intricacies [a requirement of 'peaceful' things in my life].

Like Calculus.

Or Spelling.

I think that's because the intricacies are so complex [and undefinitive] that it's like trying to solve for pi when the limit is 0 [totally made that up. probably doesn't even make sense. my point exactly].

Perhaps it's because I have a hard time judging a book by its cover.

I believe everyone is good and has nothing but the best intentions.

What they say is true.

It's hard for me to not take what people say for face value. [If they say they love this country, then they do].

Politics make me uncomfortable because I can never peg one candidate as someone I can trust. I listen to speeches and positions and try to view them through an analytical scope. [what would be his motivation for saying that?].

Then all hell breaks loose.

I cannot trust anyone.

No one lays all their beliefs on the line for me to personally ask my million questions until I can mentally wrap my mind around it.

I never get unequivocal answers.

Even though it makes me feel ignorant,

Even though I know people judge me,

I just cannot do it.

Politics and me will never be friends.

I do not vote, likewise I do not judge.

I leave that for the people who are passionate, and seemingly [at least in their opinion] more informed.

In the meantime I'll hope for the best [and let the hubs help direct my view. he's smart].

Don't judge. I'm sensitive. [and just being honest]
