I've been surprised over the recent years by the underlying feelings of several of those who I considered a friend, some for quite a long time. Previously there had been nothing this derisive to bring these deep-seated emotions to the fore, and the friendships flourished. Now? Well, Faux News has entitled their moron audience to spew their hatred without fear because their exalted leader does the same on a daily basis.
Better to let such friendships rest for a while. Maybe they'll return; maybe not. There needs to be a whole lot of healing in our land. It's getting dangerous out there.
I hope the rest of your day has a more positive and calming note to it. Breathe deeply and concentrate on the friendships you can trust and value. If you're so inclined, perhaps this old stand-by may be a moment of solace for you:
Serenity Prayer:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Peace and good wishes...
