Still hoping for ideal politician
I was thinking about qualities that would make up my ideal politician the other day. He/she would have a strong sense of decency and compassion with a sense of duty to serve the best interests of his/her fellow human beings. He/she would resist hate and prejudice and would use and teach conflict resolution.
They would be a thinker and a great listener who could learn from what other people have to say. In looking to be a problem solver, he/she would do research into the best solution and make an educated decision based on facts.
Am I naive to think that such a politician exists? Maybe. But, I sincerely hope not because for me a life without hope is just a dismal existence.
