About the Election

I recently spent some time with friends. As would be expected at this particular moment, the conversation turned to the upcoming election. It was a short, simple conversation. What stayed with me was the final comment my friend said, which went something like this "some days life can be hard. Why would anyone want the government to do anything to interfere with our happiness?" And I wonder why? Everything seems so negative...you are wrong, I am right. Maybe if we put the happiness of the general population as the goal, we could work together better and more effectively. After all we are all here together and even with all our differences, the pursuit of happiness is most people's goal. Happiness leads to smiles, and smiles are the universal  sign of happiness.
