This Sunday, August 13, are the PASO (Open, Simultaneous, and Mandatory Primaries) and on Sunday, October 22, the general elections.
Close to these dates I was thinking regarding how we feel when we vote and choose who best represents us or best expresses our idea of society, country, province, city. The offer is wide.
They exist and we have heard phrases that accompany the winners already the losers. “The one who wins leads, the one who loses accompanies”, “let’s continue working and building for the next battle”, “let’s learn from mistakes, let’s strengthen the successes”, etc.
This reflection is oriented to feel how we get along with the acceptance of the results once the fights have taken place. How do we choose to live it?
Blank, null and contested vote: what are their differences and how is it counted?
Do we fight with the result? Shall we integrate it and move on? Is it indifferent to us? Does he question us?
Each of these questions can be answered according to where we choose to stand. Anger. Acceptance. Indifference. Denial. Integration.
What if the one I didn’t choose wins?
And that way of stopping defines our way of observing the world. How we live each of the thousands of situations that we go through in our lives. From the simplest to the most committed.
Follow your own rhythm of life
It also defines in my gaze the level of peace the of disturbance that we feel and choose to have.
Attention. Accepting is not resigning. It’s just knowing that outside things happen that we do not control. And that we can choose to live it however we want: with anger, with peace, with resignation, with resentment, the list goes on.
This choice requires something so simple and so difficult: presence with ourselvesget out of autopilot, observe what we feel and what we need at every moment.
A challenge that I invite you to experience.
