How can you be angry with a politician who believes in themselves as much as you believe you are doing the "right" thing?
Do what is in your heart. Please don't look down on citizens as ignorant. Please don't view yourself as their savior. You are just as confused as the rest of us, but in no way do I want to extinguish your passion. In your mind, give the people a chance.
Anger can lead to social justice. Jesus got angry with the money changers in the temple. While they may be on a STS path and their actions may be right for them I'm not gonna sit idly by and allow them to take place, I can expose them and fight them while still loving them. If you don't believe fighting STS is part of an STO path then that's your personal belief but it's not mine.
Lots of people are very ignorant about how society operates and about the spiritual nature of life, they don't need a "saviour" but they do need someone who will stand up to them against bullies in a system which is supposed to be serving the people's interests in the first place. I would not say I'm just as confused, everyone is confused to varying degrees, the fact that we're all reading TLoO shows that we're less confused than someone who hasn't chosen a polarity. Some people are talented at math, some people are talented at art, some people are talented at sports, I'm talented with logic. I don't appreciate your insinuation that I'm arrogant because I believe I'm smarter than alot of people, I am smart and I want to use that talent to help as many people as possible just as some people are better at making music than alot of people and can use that to help people.
This is what's in my heart. Namaste says follow your bliss and that's I'm doing. My talents and passions lie in logic and social justice and even if I solely have those things to find out that politics isn't for me than that's my lesson to learn, but in the meantime I will be pursuing my passion regardless of what people think my intentions are.
