It is like having a weight lifted off one's shoulders. They will go back to ruining the country. A president re elected based on fear and resentment. The death of print media along with the lack of reading ability among the general public is responsible for this. But like they say, What the Hell.
I am encouraged by the public when it comes to living our lives. So there is something to for which to be grateful.The country is fine. It is the political system and culture that is reeking of stupidity. Most folks think it is a Coke or Pepsi thing in the booth. Not so. Until we stop re electing 98% of congress and the senate, nothing will change. Congress has about a 9% approval rating and is all but certain to be re elected. Explain that. Nobody can.
So it's a typical case of BOHICA. Bend Over Here It Comes AGAIN! In the words of Lin-chi the Chinese poet,
In Buddhism there is no place for using effort.
Just be
ordinary and nothing special.
Eat your food, move your bowels,
pass water,
and when you're tired go and lie down.
The ignorant
will laugh at me, but the wise will understand.
Mr. Miller (Barry Goldwater's Campaign manager) left politics and set up a welding shop in New York. When asked why he said taking the millennial view that politics does not matter. It's true. I am a Stoic by temperament so this will sound out of character. It is not.
Peace Out
The Rev.
