The State of Politics in My Life
I would like to announce that the “political fast” I have been observing for the past year and a half is now officially over.
When I started the political purge, I went so far as to get rid of all the political books and videos I had; I even deleted all of the political posts on my blog (see August 6, 2005).
I gave up on politics because I was saddened by how much my country became polarized politically. It clouded my thinking. I realized that I had to set aside my interest in politics, at least for a while, to concentrate on personal growth. For a while I even toyed with the idea of becoming politically neutral and not sharing with anyone, except those close to me, how I voted in elections.
I decided recently that I want to study History and Political Science. There’s no denying that I am a political junkie and a history buff. That’s the way God made me and I will stop trying to go against my nature.
So I will again, from time to time, freely post about political things. Also remember, dear reader, this blog is for me. If I make you think, that is a bonus.
