"I just don't see the world as you do."
Isn't it the truth...? We ALL look upon the world through OUR own eyes and experiences. It is difficult to remove us from any judgement we make about something we see. However, it should be our goal, if only a lofty one. We should try to see past ourselves, and see things for what they are, and not as we would have them be. It is not our experiences, but rather the pure quality of attributes presented that matter.
Introspection is how you understand you, and what you want for you. This is of great import in deciding which direction you will head next in your life, but when analyzing the world- exterior, you need to take off the blinders of your bias.
Politically speaking, this means, ceasing to see candidates through the letter next to their name. It is their record that needs to be directly addressed, and only their record. Rhetoric too should be shunned as a source campaign bias. Neither party affiliation nor empty campaign promises can tell anyone how someone will govern. Their record however, is the direct effect of their leadership style and decisions on 'We the People'. It is the only thing that matters.
