Rosalie and I were listening to a great Mike Rowe podcast today where he was interviewing Michael Reagan, the son of Ronald Reagan. It was great to hear some fun stories of Reagan's life. It's a shame that so many young people - who were not around during his presidency - have bought into a revisionist narrative about his life. I would urge them to go back and actually listen to his speeches and study his presidency and his life from a objective, historical viewpoint.
I was also lamenting the loss of statesmen like Ronald Reagan. One of the great things about him was that, even if you disagreed with him, you respected him as a person. Sure, he made some mistakes, but it was never from a sense of malice or ill intent. He was a man who loved his country and tried to do what he believed was best. You don't get that sense from many politicians nowadays. Actually, you don't get that sense from a lot of people in general anymore.
What about you? Do people respect you as a person, even if they disagree with you?
If not, what might you need to change?
