Politics
...are often best left at home.
Today at the funeral I left my politics at home. I can’t fool the dead with my criticism and sermons about the state of this world. And I’m sure those grieving don’t need me or anyone else to analyze or issue judgment on the life of the deceased. I just sat in church quietly, participated in the liturgy, and paid my last respects as I listened and laughed at the funny remembrances of family members. That afternoon upon leaving the cemetery, I felt a bit lighter, I felt less alone, and was really glad I left my politics at home.
