I've followed politics with various degrees of intensity for 40+ years, and have concluded that while it is prudent to stay informed and exercise one's right to vote, burning up a lot of emotional energy on these issues are of little value. In late 2008 and early 2009, during the height of the great recession re-pleat with bank failures and soaring unemployment, of which I was not immune, I spent most of my spare time with the TV off, tended my little garden, read, cooked, exercised, and found a measure of happiness in small things, being a bit of a control freak it was not easy to do, but it helped a lot. What ever you are deeply concerned about in world affairs folks, just remember, you're not responsible for everything. Sometimes you have to simply let go, and let things happen. That's my little philosophical tidbit for today
