Guide for election

I guess the big question now is whether to vote or note to vote. My answer lies somewhere in these don’ts:

Don’t throw in the towel. Don’t give up. Don’t give in to hopelessness. Don’t fail patience or miss opportunities that can arise from strife and controversy. Don’t think our perspectives can’t change with greater understanding.

Don’t think vision is defined by only what the eye can see. Don’t wallow in complaint and criticism when ideologies fail to meet our own. Don’t stop participating in one of life’s greatest moments, thinking all is futile anyway. Don’t believe one person’s vote doesn’t matter. Don’t decide not to vote this November. Don’t let yourself down. Don’t let the rest of us down.
