read online / beautifully put

Politics seems to have a great ability to test our mindfulness, kindness and flexibility in addition to the 'easier' aspects of making points with clarity, knowledge, power and such. It's such a charged, polarizing arena.....where the lions prowl and the hyenas howl. Ego loves politics — in the words of Hunter Thompson, for ego politics is "better than sex." Maybe because it's harder to avoid tender intimacy with our clothes, and opinions, taken off.

Opinions are inevitable, but do we have them (as provisional, limited markers) or do they have us?
