Unlike Natives Americans, I have
always said that age doesn’t necessarily confer wisdom.
I often
complain on this blog about global warming, the stupidity of the masses, the
destructive nature of the human species and even about technology that has left
me behind.
But, I do
not let any of that carry over to negativity in my life.
As I get
older I realize that life is short and finite.
The years I have left I do not intend to squander with a sour attitude
and defeated outlook about things I can’t control.
If Donald
Trump is elected President, it will be a disaster for this country. His appointments to the Supreme Court will
set back social justice sixty years. Cognitively,
I am as exasperated at the thought that there are enough people in this country
who find him an acceptable candidate that we face a chance he might be elected.
But, the
reality is, I have no control over the election so I am ready to move on
regardless of the outcome.
If Trump becomes
the next President I will continue to enjoy sharing my life with a wonderful
woman and two Maine Coon cats, feeding the birds behind my house, marveling at
the changing seasons, spending the snowy winter reading in front of my wood
stove; and keeping a Buddhist serenity – changing the things that are necessary
and accepting those things I cannot change.
I will still
bitch; but I will bury it on the internet and not carry it into my life.

If this is how you feel then why quit my blog and why aren't we still good friends?
ReplyDeleteYeah, OB, that's the attitude we all need. No point letting the state of the world poison our daily lives.
ReplyDeleteGuess I will continue to swim upstream until I die
