13. As a master class in ethical morality

For me, Trump is a master class in ethical morality, or the complete lack thereof. I actually feel sorry for him. He has wasted his life. He could have done so much good for people all over the world, but instead harmed millions of people. When he dies, the only thing that he will take with him is his mind, and what a mind that is -- filled with deep dark delusions, selfishness, negative emotions, and indifference to the well-being of others. He has confirmed for me the verity of Buddhist teachings about the path of compassion and wisdom. Let's not be afraid to flinch or run away, when we look at the ugly life of Donald Trump, but remain calm and present, as we see it with penetrating and discriminating wisdom. Let's take the life of Donald Trump into our path and learn something important that will be beneficial to ourselves and others -- namely how NOT to be.
