The entire political.... catastrophe that the United States Government is causing is certainly very stressful. I know that things will get better, because everything in Life is only temporary. That's about the only amount of hope that I still have remaining. Hope that people will finally wake up and see through all the manipulation and lies that they fell for. I try not to be judgemental, although it's hard, because we're all suffering because of some uninformed people, that and willful apathy. Or, even perhaps that the Election was indeed tampered with-- but we'll probably never really know.
At any rate, I know that no body is coming to save us, unlike the Germans last century. There are no heroes to save our day. We have to be the ones to fix this mess, and as each day passes, the more unlikely that it seems the resolution will be all that peaceful. We have to stop fighting with each other on stupid divisions (sports teams, political affiliations, wealth, religion, sex, gender, ethnicity, etc) The true problem is that it's taken us like a hundred years to get to this point. And it'll take another hundred years to get to a point to where we no longer have greedy corporate CEOs and Shareholders. Where people collectively come together and form thriving communities, and we elect responsible people who actually are compassionate about the planet, and our survival as people.
As much as people may want a revolution, or think that another civil war is the answer-- taking the reins of power by force, the truth is that such a tactic would never work. Not against a hardened, militarized police force who is loyal to only the extreme wealthy-- because that's who pays them, not us citizens through taxes. They are all corrupted.
Anyway, I'm rambling, but I wanted to basically say that this is temporary. This too shall pass. All the agony we're facing, will end. Right now, all we gotta do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. Do small things-- things that may seem totally insignificant in the grand scheme of the world, that helps people. Because that's how we're going to get out of this mess. A collective force of small things that helps individuals. That builds community, and will eventually overthrow the wealthy parasites out of power.
