I think that politics could be a positive thing. My beef is that people focus on the personal aspect of a politician too much. They should focus on the results.
Keep going on hikes, keep having your friends in your life, keep that downtime sacred as well because as hard as you work in any job, it's really nice to have the relaxing de-stressors. Stress is the worst thing. That's the ultimate demise of any good thing.
