I haven’t watched the news since Donald Trump won the election. Have I missed anything? I think not. I know I haven’t missed my morning shot of aggravation with Morning Joe.
The Buddha taught that life is chaos, but everything is impermanent and will pass. Many, if not most, things are out of our control. Focusing on things we cannot control brings stress into our lives.
We are the cause of our own dissatisfaction.
We are
creatures of modicum intellect, living in a meaningless world. We should not
squander our precious time on this earth focusing on the chaos that our species
causes in this world, but instead focus
on the beauty around us in the time we have.
Donald Trump
will pass, I will pass, you will pass.
