The American people understand that the economy today is rigged and that we cannot continue the ‘same old, same old’ establishment politics and establishment policies.
Let’s at least pick a better hilltop than this one before we sit there for five years. This one’s still too close to The Wastes, not even properly out of them yet.
It looks like there may be some better hills ahead, let’s see what we can view from atop the next one, then we can decide where to sit.
And if we don’t have to be angry and stressed and never have any fun, why is everything I see telling me the opposite?
Um, congrats, you now see the machine clearly for what it is. It sucks your lifeforce and produces misery as a byproduct while generating exorbitant wealth for the people in the penthouse corner.
If I’m not angry, am I not paying attention?
If you’re paying attention, you certainly will get angry at times. But anger didn’t evolve to be a constant. You’ll burn yourself out that way.
Acknowledge your anger when it comes, channel it to good use if you can. But let it go when its moment passes. No need to hold onto it, there will be plenty more of it later when you need it again.
Go for a stroll, breathe some fresh air, spend an hour just staring at a tree. If you’re really paying attention, you’ll find there’s a lot more to life than only things to be angry about. There are so many things to appreciate too. Things worth protecting, and preserving.
That’s what I mean by balance. Reality is a hodgepodge. Don’t treat it as monochrome.

This was not helpful. It’s exactly what my therapist said.
