It sort of amazes me to watch egos at work in our public figures. To tell you the truth, I actually try very hard NOT to discuss politics very often even when whoever I am with has the same basic perspectives I have, but boy do politicians seem to have BIG egos -- as do many actors/actresses, sports figures, radio and TV pundits, etc., etc.

I was thinking this week about the different political heavy weights whose egos seem to get in the way of what they try to accomplish 'in the name of the American People' and the broadcasters who stand ready to smear them in one way or another with their massive egos as well. 

BTW if you've suddenly gotten the idea that YOUR guy or gal doesn't show these tendencies because your side of things is 'right', for-get-a-bout-it. I'm talking both 'sides' and almost everyone I can think of on any 'SIDE! '

Being RIGHT is almost a sure sign of someone's EGO getting into the mix. Perhaps more politicians and political pundits should really think about Wayne Dyer's perspective -- "If you have a choice between being right and being kind, choose being kind."

Wouldn't it be nice if just once in awhile these influential people would actually take a step back, really look at themselves, and spend a whole day being kind stead of being right? WOW! Would that ever shake things up.

Oh well, at least you and I can try. Right?

Best,
