June 18, 2010Wisdom beyond their years. “I’ve had too many political debates and “I’m moving on.”
I was relaxing on my deck when I heard a young voice say,
- You know who’s a liar? Obama.
That was followed by a younger voice saying,
- I don’t want to get involved in a political debate. I’ve had too many political debates and I’m moving on.
Pretty wise for an eight-year-old!
Of course it would be even nicer had she been able to turn it into a reasonable political discussion based on facts. I should send her a copy of my Unite and Concur ebook. These days so many of us are convinced that political discussions have to be battles of the wills rather than collaborative explorations. It’s a pity that a phrase dismissing an entire topic for conversation would be regarded as a PowerPhrase.
A pity, but also a reality. And I remain impressed with this young lady’s wisdom beyond her years.
