The last few years my political interests have inched into higher priority of my mind space as schooling has forced theological study - and hands-on work at a homeless shelter has enlightened awareness that systems do affect affect people negatively/positively depending on their quality/negligence.
All that to say my father and I often have interesting political conversations. I am left of center, him right. What is amazing is that he doesn't want me to think like him tho. How is that possible? I haven't convinced him that socialism isn't evil, yet he encourages me to continue serving God/Humanity through the way I see best fit. He has even made comments like "I don't know, maybe you have more right answers than I."
My dad is humble and I wish I could replicate his virtue.
