Wisdom versus Winning

I don’t care if you are convinced.

I don’t care how tough-minded you appear, or how full of self-righteous fears. I am not interested in your subtle, elegant, powerful execution of a 10-point Olympic Campaign spin.

What have you learned from your opponent Obama that you did not see before? What have you learned from your friend with whom you disagree? What has he learned from you who support McCain? Make him tell! After all this, is your world not larger than it was before? Show me you both are looking for wisdom and understanding, rather than victory.

Then, when you cast your vote, you will be bringing wholeness — Shalom — to this great nation, and we may begin to distinguish our left from our right.
