HAS REALITY DARKENED MY POSITIVE MINDSET FOR SOUND REASON?

 Until last weekend, my attitude concerning Biden creating change for the better soon after winning the upcoming presidential election was every bit as positively focused as that of most of my friends.  So what happened to darken my personal perception?  I participated in a conversation concerning reality with David and his ‘little brother’, Bryce, in which my limited view of these last three years expanded as seen through their eyes.

Though I continue to believe that, eventually, good will prevail over evil—what seems unlikely to me, now, is that evil will leave The White House peaceably without a fight, being that everything trump says and does continues to prove him as mentally deranged as was true of Hitler and Hossain.

Unfortunately, following trump’s example, close to half of our nation’s population has unhooded in favor of wearing their red hats openly and proudly, whereas, during years past, the KKK had tried but failed to hide the cruelty of their prejudicial attitudes under coned hats and white sheets in hopes of shielding their true identities while participating in shameful acts of despicable hypocrisy.

Though America seemed to be kinder place during my childhood each shocking awareness of reality staring us in the face, today, suggests the importance of our knowing exactly who, how many and where the enemy of brotherhood hangs ‘his’ hat.

Though I hope my current fear of anarchy running wild through our streets on Nov. 4th will prove to be unfounded, David and Bryce (who is now 21) have experienced situations in LA, which prove so much darker than any of my own that during our conversation, my spirit felt an urgent need to strengthen my mindful connection to courage in case their perceptions concerning the immediate aftermath of the coming election holds true.
