An Extreme Event In The USA Results In Fear And Relief

This topic, I view as a waste of energy and time to even think about.

Next post = good stuff! 😅

People on both sides get so angry ranting, calling for justice, crying out for help.

Right now there are people who are very angry about the recent extreme event in the USA.

They view it as authoritarians out of control. A country ruled with an iron fist.

An almost absolute authority that will crush anyone or anything that takes a stand.

These people are largely driven by fear. Fear of what will happen. How far will things go?

HOWEVER.... there are also people who are defending that same authority.

These people feel a huge sense of relief because they were also driven by fear.

Their fear came from seeing other people who were not "in order" - others being "uncontrolled" made them feel very uncomfortable.

Now they view it as "order" prevailed and this relieved their fears... for now.

Whether I like it or not... this is a quite accurate description of the way things are in the USA.

Both "sides" want even more to be done to support THEIR beliefs while restricting others with different beliefs.

Some people still believe this can be fixed.

I think the best that can be achieved in the USA is the balance that already exists.

A life where everyone gets a little of what they want, a fair amount of what they do not want, and a little of what they fear and hate.
