"Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen"

This quote by Peggy Noonan is a cautioning to be careful of those who are extremely consumed with politics. While they may be intelligent and appealing, they are doing not have something in their character. This emptiness is filled with politics, which can cause an out of balance and distorted outlook on life. It is very important to keep in mind that politics must not be the sole focus of one's life, as it can cause an unhealthy fascination. It is very important to have a well balanced life, with a range of interests and activities, in order to lead a healthy and satisfying life.
