It may seem that either you have come upon a panacea or plunged into a dark hole but I assure you that neither one is an accurate perspective. It is important to remember that everything is cyclical. Ideas, people, parties come and go. So it is safe to say that we have entered another cycle that will pass in the not so distant future.
We are all capable of making the best out of circumstances. That might mean that you get out and let people know what you really think by supporting causes that represent your values or you can wait it out by being distracted with your day to day activities. Either way, we are simply passing through a passage in time.
You might wonder if the human being makes any impact on world affairs and I ask myself the same question. I am really only poring over a small part of the big picture and no one really sees the big picture although some of us try our best.
All I can say is lighten up. I am preaching to myself as well. We can only do our best by bringing in new ideas and testing them out one by one. If they work for you ….well, then you are on the right track. If they don’t…you might want to rethink things. In any case, learn to be your own friend. Make adjustments to create a more peaceful and engaged life.
