I should have no fear of change by this point. My life has been filled with change, and I can look backward and see it has always worked for the better. However, an involuntary pair of visions always come to the fore. One is of the favorable end for me with everything working out and being blessed and such, and then there is the other, where I see an old me sitting at the end an approach from some store with a sign, “Disabled vet, anything helps.” I kid you not. I cannot make the negative one go away, and that one scares me, whenever it appears.
My wife absolutely supported Trump, because, as she put it, he is the one most likely to pull the nuclear trigger. Now I see something happening. He is trying to wipe out renewable energy sources and pushing the dirtiest energies. His administration is removing years of disease control in this nation and world health this nation promulgated. He is now openly supporting a horrific dictatorship and its war on its neighbor by funding it. He is carrying this nation into another unending war. He is the antithesis of world unity, peace, health, and oneness.
This may be the plan of the Creator. Possibly, the idea is that the quicker we reach an intolerable state of existence throughout the earth, the quicker we will realize we must come together and truly work as one to survive and thrive.
It makes me happy when I see toward the end of a day that I have had a full day of accomplishing things that have improved me in some way, i.e., practicing my guitar, or altruistically helping others, like doing the dishes or yard work, or moving the household along, like getting something done in the outside world, e.g., the car registered at the DMV.
The best thing that has happened to me in the last month is suddenly noticing my grandson is getting to his new school on time every morning and has had no missing homework assignments since the first of this month.
What gives meaning to my life is realizing that life has been working toward my good and a good goal.
Non-violent resistance would be a trait of the new human being, but Gandhi advocated this and was asked if it would work against someone such as Hitler? He answered, “yes, but not without defeat.” So, we can pretend to become the new and improved human being now, but we will have to accept some defeat on the way to changing the world.
