Mood: sad
Topic: post-election depression
It's been a blow to most of us who had high hopes that things were going to get better. Last Tuesday's election results shocked everyone I know. Wednesday at work it was like a tomb. Getting through the day was difficult. How could this happen? We were so confident and hopeful.
Well, the anger and bitterness that erupted in me Wednesday did no good. It only fed the climate of negativity and dread for what is to come the next four years. If Americans have truly chosen this path (and I have my doubts, because I can't believe it wasn't rigged), then perhaps they deserve what is going to happen. More freedoms torn from them... more economic hardships, more of our young people sent off to fight an immoral war! (And the Republicans have the GALL to talk about morals!!!)
On the other hand, Spirit has a way of directing life and everything is happening for a reason. It is time to let go and let God. I've decided to drop my hurt and anger and take up the shield of Compassion. The Earth has never needed more of it than it needs it now.
