Just because you choose to exist within the lightā¦ and not venture into darkness to attempt to drag others out ā¦ ( others who have made their own free choice to stay ) ā¦ is no cause for self reproach ā
Quite the contrary ā¦
It requires great fortitude to stand tall and represent truth amidst the barrage of falsehood and temptation that would lure one into taking the " easy way out " ā¦ Not to be sucked into the fray where the only reward is the quick fix of self-gratification achieved only by standing on the backs of othersā¦
We would all like to ātellā people of our point of view ā¦ and that a " spiritual " way is not only better for our fellow menā¦but a reward that is lasting and quite possibly eternal ā¦ but when others have chosen not to listen, what time any of us have left in this world is wastedā¦ when it could be used to better effect elsewhere ā¦
My remedy ā¦( and I am speaking, for myself )
LIVE ā¦ just live your wordsā¦
Example is the most persuasive means that we possess to SHOW the way ā¦ Donāt worry ā¦ Your light will shine for those who are in need of it ā¦ That is not for you to decide ā
You are here-by granted the " Beacon on the Hill " award !

Low turnout. On Google images, Alphanews posts a shot of a large Trump crowd in with all the 1-3 hour old rally photos that show 10-80- people. The Alphanews photo is from the election campaign.
Followed by his getting trolled by side by side pictures followed by his working in the lies into his next press conference and speeches for the next two weeks followed by more trolling of side by side picturesā¦ etc.
And why is he/they reminding folks about those days ā¦ just as he releases ridiculous amounts of new spending in his new budget. Driving the fiscal away from the conservatives in Congress.
Rally for that man in Austin.

Iāve seen bigger crowds outside the capitol when tourists find out you can walk through the grounds as a short-cut.
Looks like a 1980s game of ultimate football with a small crowd of family members watching.
Iām kind of the same as you, empathetic toward all creatures.
Remember that scene in To Kill A Mockingbird when a mad dog threatens the town? Atticus aims the rifle, takes down the animal with one clean shot. Then he puts on the safety, picks up his glasses, and goes back about his business.
He wasnāt out to shoot all dogs. Even this one, he didnāt dance on its carcass. He had no doubt that the animal had to be put down. In doing so, he kept respect for the animal, and dignity for himself. Itās the natural order of the universe.
Hate is the foreign element. We donāt give in to hate. But we eliminate mad dogs.
Empathy is a mark of goodness. Be confident in your goodness.
So am I. Thatās why I had to learn to build boundaries because otherwise it would be too much. I actively learned how not to get swamped with other peopleās emotions. And the fact is that one has to do that or one will never be able to make judgments that are necessary. People have to be able to say that something someone is doing is wrong or right and you have to defend yourself from their feelings in order to be rational about it.
At least thatās what Iāve had to do.
The Charmless Cheeto inspires the American populace once again!
I keep seeing these nervous nellies on the 'Net always getting themselves into a lather because they think armies of Trump voters and supporters are going to rise up in some great civil war against our progressive, liberal asses. The motherfuckers canāt even get off their goddamned couches to go to a rally to show their love for their idol, Jabba the Nutt.
If this is the prelude to a civil war, it sure as hell aināt gonna be one that Ken Burns is going to make a documentary about.
Donāt forget the ketchup!
I hear that Trump is also bringing back jobs to the whalebone corset*,horse and buggy, and moustache wax industries.
(*something, BTW, that Trump REALLY needs to start wearing)
No shit! hahahahahaha
I do not get the āThere will be bloodā crowd at all.
Itās the same crowd as the āBush will make himself president foreverā crowd. Then they flipped to the right and became the āObama will make himself president foreverā crowd and now itās āOMG the fascist militias are coming and weāre all going to dieā crowd. Itās particularly silly when something happens like a former liberal African American turns out to be making the bomb threats against synagogues.
A lot of liberals have guns. Thatās another thing a lot of people seem to be completely blank about - the idea that liberals might have guns.
The small turn out was even smaller than Donnieās little pee pee.
Obama prevented people from attending the Trump rallies. Illegal immigrants, Hispanics, blacks, Muslims, Jews, war veterans, and college students helped Obama make these rallies a failure.
Sad people in sad little groups. Sad!
Whale bone corset! How I miss those! So binding!
Oops, I forgot ā there are no more whalesā¦
