There seem to be an awful lot of unhappy people out there. Some people are in a lot of pain and they seem to think that political events are the source of all their pain. That's very unhealthy and it's very unhealthy because none of us have much control over the political environment in which we live. I am just one of hundreds of millions of people in this country.
I think that it is much healthier to view the political environment much as we view the weather. I don't expect to be able to control the weather, but i can own a raincoat. In the same way, I can arrange my affairs so as not to be so dependent on political outcomes for my well-being. If I am taking care of myself, I can cheerfully try to make a contribution to our political system and then accept the results without too much suffering.
We have been granted the gift of life. We should appreciate and enjoy it.
So, I feel sorry for people who become bitter or miserable over political setbacks.
