Many are selfish, aggressive and dominating.

I was the most self-centered young man growing up. Everything was ALL about me. I was also Conservative.

Since then, I have grown, figured out the world is a much more complex place than I once imagined and that there was a greater calling than “getting a job” to “make money” and that serving someone or something other than myself is actually much more pacifying than being a selfish recluse.

The mentality of “giving back” of compassion of selflessness is NOT a Conservative trait. It never has been and never will be.

I didn’t become Liberal and then decide to change the way I thought about the world. I began to look at the world from a much different perspective and then the politics took care of themselves.

To break off the shackles of Conservatism you must consider yourself a minute part of the world…yet almost have the idealistic belief that no matter how insignificant you appear to be, that you can do wonderful things.
