“He should have done it this way.” “He should have done it that.” All the commentary in the world from those who are arm chair coaches, and most of them have never coached a day in their lives, never mind at such levels. Still more, “If this political person did this, and if that one did that, everything would be okay,” but most of the news commentators who say so have never been in or run for office. Isn't it so much easier to be the critic of those who engage? Isn't it such a simpler job to have a “distant interest?”
Oh, the excuses run rampant when these are challenged. Oh, the contributions and qualifications they boast about, but they still do not have the job. They still have no idea of what it is like to live in a fishbowl. They still do not in most cases have the qualifications, talent or clout to even get or be elected for the job, and yet, they indeed know it all. One old manuscript says, “Surely you are the people and wisdom will die with you.” To hear most of them speak, as soon as they are gone, all the wisdom in the world will be as well.
Until a person becomes the one he or she criticizes and knows the full impact of the job they hold, perhaps along with the criticism should be a consideration for how to be an actively involved solution rather than one who marks him or herself as one who has a distant interest.
Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
