A message for Andrea, Stephanie, Danielle, Aurora and any other young people who may be agonizing over the recent show.
In February of this year, I penned a blog spoofing a letter to Mom, and complaining about the ridiculous "password" procedures with which we are presently challenged. Although it was intended as pure spoof, except-of course-for the existing "password" debacle, I found that my "letter to Mom" did alight upon the hearts of a few as much more serious than this old guy intended. I was, in fact, reminded and advised that minds decades-or even generations younger than mine-can and will process the message in codes other than which intended. To elucidate, you may want to refer to the offending blog penned February, 2016.
Now, for the current subject. Results of the 2016 Presidential campaign and election. It is obvious that multitudes are unhappy and disgruntled to say the least with the results of the campaign. I would like to chip in with some generations old experience and remind everyone that :
1. All that glitters is not gold
and
2. No matter how great the storm, the world will not come to an end
We all should have faith in our form of government. The Republic, and its balance of power, will prevail and we all will survive. The people have spoken, even though through the questionable "electoral college" process, and the people will prevail.
Each one of us, from the youngest to the oldest, is and will be responsible for his own future. Neither the government, nor any elected individual, will be responsible for our individual future success.
Let us not "agonize" over results of one electoral process. It is one drop in an ocean of future that each one of us has. Concentrate on our individual efforts and I believe that the "balance of power" will take care of the rest.
