"Politics, whether we like it or not affects everyone.", said I.
The above comment may seem unimportant to most but it came back to haunt me when I heard it here (approximately at counter #9:25) in the video below. I used the word 'haunt' because it's the first and only time in my life that I looked at hate coming from the eyes of the recipient of my words. Sure, most of us can see the results of hate (the ravages of war, murder, cruelty to animals, and even divorce), but to look 'hate' eyeball to eyeball is an encounter I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It's terrifying!
"Politics, whether we like it or not affects everyone.", said I, and 'hate' (a real person) walked away never to be seen again. - N.E.H.
PS: I want to thank my friend P.V. in Falmouth, Massachusetts for sending me the video.
