Love this - especially your (partial) quote, "Without the serenity of inner peace, there is no character formation...". That quote should be adopted by the pro-choice community in my opinion. I know it speaks to me and I imagine it will speak to other pro-choice individuals❣️
Also appreciated the quotes from George Washington and Plato. As well as all of the encouragement to get politically active. I am definitely considering volunteering to register people for the midterms. I am so worried about the midterms and that seems like a good use of energy!
Thank you for sharing this. If only the youth in USA would realize their power (they already have the numbers - MAJORITY) & actually exercise it, they could design their future. I really don't understand their reticence -- ignorance, laziness, cynicism, distraction?
Try to help them stand up & exercise their Power, before they lose it.
To me, the lack of youth participation in politics has to do with so much dishonesty the politicians are perceived to have. They do not realize that this administration is probably THE most corrupt political administration this country has had. They are culturally conditioned to ignore the wisdom of elders to everybody's detriment!!!
My Representative will not meet with the citizens of our District 10 in Michigan, He is John James, a black man who is a trumper and does not care about what the people want. I have written to him frequently and get "canned" letters for every issue I bring up! He is now running for Governor of Michigan! He will lose!
Thank you for putting Healing the Soul of America on Substack for anyone to read. I will share it freely.
More important, I have received approval from Beto O’Rourke’s nonprofit, Powered by People, to “run with” the creation of a team to teach civic rights, responsibilities and actions through this Texas group. I will be pleased to teach such a course online.
I encourage all readers to join me in whatever role speaks to you. You can reach me by signing on as a Powered by People volunteer, then creating an account on their Slack channel.

I like that you used the term "perceived". One's perception is not necessarily Truth
