Ray of Light

This evening I met up with a former colleague from Vassar College. Sixteen years after I left Vassar, we still kept in touch. Whenever he came to DC, we would meet up and chat.

We talked about work and web development. We also talked about our personal life. As much as I wanted to avoid politics, we talked about it. I was glad that we were on the same page. We see the differences between the left and the right on policies. One party is all about the individuals and their wealth. Money comes first. Decency and democracy don’t matter much. The other party is about lifting up everyone, creating equal opportunities, and upholding our democracy.

I am proud to have a friend who still cares about integrity instead of money. No matter who won, it wouldn’t make a different to him and I financially. It would matter significantly if we were to lose our freedom. Let’s hope our country won’t turn into dictatorship.
