Opt Out of Politics

Opt Out of Politics

Politics is a game within a game,

all within the current paradigm.

It’s not the only way to get things

done, but it is the only way most

people know. We get stuck in the

familiarity of what we know, even

if it’s broken.

Why do a bunch of old men get

to dictate my life from on high?

They don’t know me and I don’t

know them. They don’t have my

best interests at heart - they can’t!

They aren’t in my generation or

my social group; we have nothing

in common. Why are they

authorized to kill or wage war on

my behalf? I don’t want that.

Imagine a total stranger running

up to you and asking if they

could take care of your baby, your

mother, your sibling. Would you

allow that? No, of course not. So

why would you let a total stranger

write the laws that rule your life?

What if we could change the

world into a world that doesn’t

need politics?

If we all lived in community and

connection with one another and

with ourselves, we could certainly

come up with a better solution

than this.

If everyone opted out of politics,

who would run the country? Who

would run the world?

We would. Together.

Choose to live your life differently,

and you start a revolution simply

by being yourself.
