Palestinian Delegation
Read 573. A particular area for discernment on the part of the lay faithful concerns the choice of political instruments, that is, membership in a party or in other types of political participation. A choice must be made that is consistent with values, taking into account actual circumstances . In every case, whatever choice is made must be rooted in charity and tend towards the attainment of the common good[1200]. It is difficult for the concerns of the Christian faith to be adequately met in one sole political entity; to claim that one party or political coalition responds completely to the demands of faith or of Christian life would give rise to dangerous errors.

The face of wisdom
A thief threatens you then takes your money. A criminal takes your money then threatens. A man is not a measure of his might, or he would be fighting with might. Compensation is when you have people believe the size of your machine is in proportion to your manhood. Stupidity is how little you know. Self loathing is advertising how little you know. Politics is a high school popularity contest. Life seems to be chaotic. Life is to much for to many. Life is here to stay.
Enhance our lives
see with both eyes ___________________________________________________ In bygone days I had a publishing gimmick called "seeing beneath the line". It was an alternative view. Single vision is using one side of the brain to interpret reality and make decisions. Historically a ruling imperative allows leaders is to adopt such a viewpoint. Having to take into account both sides of the brain, using both eyes to view their piece of the world seems to clash with the idea of who they are, or want for themselves and those that matter - the ones in power who support them.
