I'm not a clairvoyant so I cannot see what is going to be the direction American society will take now, or the outcome of this new presidency.
But I saw the direction taken by last presidency and it was very, very weird. Contrary to commonsense. It was a rapid decline of an empire into a science-fictional dystopic world.
I cannot stand it when reason and common sense are overtaken by ideology. This was happening in America and Italy/Europe as well.
I'm not a priori against any political parties, but when they become the champions of irrationality, I must take distance, wide distance.
We all reason to the tune of our own misconceptions. And our rationale mirrors our predetermined outlooks and experiences. What you ‘can’t stand’ is what you are facing. And the experiences I differ with I face on a daily basis. It is easy to say that what differs with you is irrational. But what of those who experience your ideas as irrational?
The similarities we share out weigh the differences, so we continue our dialogue. I find that a comforting formula of coexistence and do not require an agreement. It is only those who have found they could not tolerate differences with our views who left us. And those who could not tolerate the outcome of the election in 2000 that now have their voice heard. Let us see the outcome of their resistance to that election this time around, since now they were not met with the same resistance and violence they propagated. I’m ok 🙂 with that. Let them learn in a different way. We all will eventually will find our path merges on our journey homeward towards the divine. Bless all those whose souls seek liberation. And may we draw others to that ultimate path.
