Trump has been quoted recently as telling people working in the White House to think of the Presidency as a TV show where they vanquish their enemies. Support him or not, you have to admit that he\u2019s at least honest about that.\u00a0 The things he has done since taking office have all been about taking things away from people.<\/p>\n

That is why, when my right wing friends say \u201cIs there anything Trump could do to win you over,\u201d I think of that quote. I have come to realize that there are people I just have a fundamental disagreement with and will never EVER see the world their way.\u00a0 I used to be friends with someone who said on a routine and regular basis \u201cIf we can\u2019t be friends, we must be enemies, and I destroy my enemies.\u201d\u00a0 In my observations, as time has gone on, the number of friends diminishes and the number of enemies will constantly increase, and the only person who gets destroyed is the person sowing enemies<\/p>\n

The people in power, in my opinion, are put there to help us, not to fight us. They are to work toward making lives better, both for the people they govern as well as the lives they can assist around the world.\u00a0 It can be through making it easier for people to learn the skills needed for the jobs of the future, finding ways to assist those who can\u2019t function in the modern society as easily as others or simply by showing kindness as a possible and preferred solution.<\/p>\n

When you wake up every day looking for a fight, you\u2019re going to find one. When you wake up every day looking for a way to help people, you\u2019ll find that as well.\u00a0 The world is what it is.\u00a0 You can\u2019t change it very much, so you have to change how you interact with it.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
