Sad, isn't it?

Seems to me that most politicians don't love life. They hate it. As an example, look at the aspirants for president on the Republican ticket. Instead of savoring life, they are running for president. They seek power. Prestige. Celebrity. Adulation. They wanna dictate the way the rest of us live. They are pious. Sanctimonious. And they are natural born liars. They lie to us. And even lie to themselves. They spew bull shit. And some of 'em are angry people. Close-minded. Intolerant. Egocentric. Know-it-alls. Most of 'em are atheists. Deep down. They don't have any real spiritual roots. They merely pretend. That they are believers. When really, they aren't. The real believers, it seems to me, often live solitary and quiet lives. Because they know it's useless to try to change the world. Instead, they work on changing themselves. They cultivate a holy spirit. From within. I hear and see nothing of that from our politicains.
