Voter Apathy

Why are voters so apathetic? I think that they have given up. They see that no matter who is running for office, no matter who is elected, no matter how much or how little they are involved, it makes no difference. They feel like victims of the system.

Are they? ARE WE? Or, are we the cause?

How we respond to what life hands us is a product of our character and our attitude. If we have the character to say, "I will move forward in spite of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles," then we will succeed. If instead we become "beaten down" by the blows that come our way then we truly will be defeated.

How do you maintain a positive attitude in the face of obstacles? Focus on the good.

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." __ Phillipians 4:8
