Laughter: A Freeing Experience

I have never been into politics or religion. This time I decided I would go against myself and voice my views on politics. I was wrong. Either years ago, when Obama won, I felt I knew he would win, because the nation would take a black man over a woman. I said Hillary's turn would come eight years later. It did, but the DNC messed it.

Right from the beginning, the DNC never wanted Bernie to win. Bernie's voice was the voice of the youth, the liberal, the socialist. It was silenced because everyone had to be heard and made happy among the democrats. All the promises Obama had made, could not be carried out, because of opposition. The elected Democrat wimps in the senate are too good for the GOP bullies. 

People are profit centered. What can I say? Obama promised change and the only change was a black family living in the white house.

Anyway, I decided no longer to stay in the sidelines and jump in and get vocal. I only used facebook. It became tough, so I started blocking people. I said to myself, if in real life, this person and I can't be friends, why should I have them as my facebook friends.

I started listening to late night shows on tv, which made fun of the ways of Trump and his followers non-stop. I had one thought run at the back of my mind all the time. "What will these comics do, when Trump gets elected?" That evening Trevor Noah said on "do you understand we cannot continue like this, if Trump wins?" I nodded my head in front of my laptop screen.

Anyway, this morning is that morning when no shows have been recommended to me by youtube. I just saw Stephen Colbert's show and I came out with the following two points.  #1 We won't have to worry about election for another four years. #2 Laughter is the best medicine.

Henceforth I will focus on laughter, not because I am smarter or better. I shall laugh, because life is an illusion. Everything and every relation is an illusion and temporary. I must do my best and then move on. The truth is "nothing lasts forever" and "I live my life by myself and so do you".

America must learn what just happened. Yes, we are all aboard a mule train and it is being lead by those who are here to focus just on themselves, so why not me?

I am here to know who am I. Every experience reveals a bit of my true nature. I am not from here and yet I am here for now, so let me make the most of it and help myself to live my life knowing nothing is mine. I must pay my rent money to rent space for me to sleep every night. Whatever that rent is, I must pay, because the space isn't mine to begin with.

Religion, I shall stay away from forever, politics too. My votes do not matter, I realize. My life my rules. I shall not waste any energy ever again on deciding which power hungry person is up there squabbling. It's all good. Namaste!
