I don’t have cable or watch TV, but here at work, they have one tuned to election coverage nonstop. Every time I happen to overhear some of it, I feel both nauseous and embarrassed. Also, offended, bored, disappointed, annoyed.
A lot of what I feel, I think, has to do with how ultimately meaningless it is.
This morning, I took time to remember that people everywhere are suffering, including those I encounter everyday in my circle of existence. So, I remembered to act accordingly.
When we get tired of our daily routines or are uninspired by our jobs or other life situations, I think one good piece of advice is to improve ourselves — work on our character, for instance. That’s always a lifelong project for each of us. And it makes the world a better place, too. That includes our own life environments.
