(#5808) The calm before the storm

      I will have to find a way to disengage from the coming chaos of trump and his mindless followers. Right now it is easy because although it is coming it isn't here yet. So I distract myself with music and movies/series of complexity. I am no player of games of chance. I enjoy mental challenges that tax my imagination and logic. I am probably unlike many that way. I would have hoped that we were all like that, needing compelling challenges that moved us not only emotionally but mentally. However given the latest election results I see that I am not like my fellow Americans in a majority way.
     I do have many who are like me around me but we are obviously not enough to feel comfortable about. So instead of commiserating I am disconnecting in many ways. My daily blog will not be full of political posts but instead more life like observations. Even though I see politics as the most life like we as a society can be. The disappointment in my understanding of our species' lack of evolvement is soul crushing to me. In order to survive that I need to be more about other things and less about what we should be. I do not know how to do that but I am going to try through me being me and not concerned as much with how others are being themselves.
     I will never stop trying to help our world become a better place but the sheer disregard for the pain and suffering of others by too many in our society has pummeled me to a point where I feel so weak inside. My heart hurts over this and there is no salve for it. So tuning out for now is all I can think to do. Because right now is when the calm is about and in less than a month the chaos is about to unleash itself on all of us. I am hoping that in my respite, I will have sufficiently healed enough for me to get back into my abrupt demeanor with no mercy for the creators of the coming onslaught. I am a fighter and that will never change but I must find my way back to my greater strength.
