Trump Victory a Rainbow or Bolt of Lightning?
Riots and mayhem – in some places – euphoria and hope in
others. Most everyone knows the ol’ adage derived from the Serenity Prayer: Change the things you can, accept that which
you cannot change, and know the difference between them.
I would add to that: Change the things you can, responsibly …
Some people, when faced with a situation they cannot change,
lash out in irrational fear and frustration. We’re an emotional specie – I get
that – but beyond your first knee-jerk reaction, should come the decision of
how to change the circumstance, or work with it, responsibly.
Mature and intelligent people apply their emotions to doing
what they can to create what they perceive as a better result.
I have never understood the mindset of rioters and violentprotestors. In the heat of your anger, you destroy the property, hopes, and
dreams (in your damages) of innocent people, and even yourself. Where is the
logic and intelligence in that? And for what cause? Truly – is it justified?
If you allow the situation to play out for a reasonable
length of time and it still does nothing to assuage your frustration, THEN,
gather your cronies and take your opinions to a higher level –
LEGALLY. Why
ruin your life and that of others who did nothing to you, for the sake of
emotion? 
In the situation of a Trump presidency – if you voted
against him – you gave it a valiant effort. Why protest until you
KNOW he’ll be an undesirable president?
Donald Trump worked even harder than Hillary to achieve the highest American honor. He had many more detractors, yet ignored the insults and never wavered in his desire to become president. Would you have had that much stamina and faith? (And there were obviously slightly more #ClosetVoters for him, than against.)
Bottom line: Can you CHANGE the current situation – with
violence? Absolutely not.
Cheers to the power of Rainbows,
Celebrating the Rainbow for what it was meant to be ... and other liberating causes.
