Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I attended a political meeting yesterday in which only the host and myself actually wanted to take any kind of action.  The others were listing how busy they were, and though I missed the first meeting, it seems that the sparse attendance was due to the hope that this group would be a support group.  So I listened and got more and more discouraged.  The host had joined another group, and she was inclined to tackle that group's agenda, rather than devise a task for this group she'd begun.  I could see why she was discouraged, but my morale was lower when I left after two hours.  I believe overthinking or overtalking is detrimental to action.  I prefer picking something small, and plugging away one day at a time.  These people had overwhelmed themselves by swallowing the whole picture, and were in major stomach upset.  I've been guilty of that myself.  So I guess this group is dissolving, and I'll continue looking for more activities that will help bring compassion back to the forefront of political action, instead of power and rhetoric and posing.
