Lots of you guys are pulling your hair out right now, seeing what's happening in Afghanistan, Australia, with Biden, and in our own nation.
I have to admit, especially where I'm reading these laments, I'm prone to chuckling a bit.
We were told about this. We're "in the know". Most of us understand that Biden is not Biden. Most of us are aware of the battle waging behind the scenes.
And yet it seems there are those that will sort of slip back into the old ways of thinking, complaining about Afghanistan, or something Biden did, and seemingly forgetting that it's all a show.
Just wanted to throw that out there. It's like we're awake, but still grumbling and still in bed, not yet facing the world bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
The key to not slipping backwards is maintaining one's objectivity even in the face of situations that contain a lot of emotion. The enemy understands that if they can control peoples' emotions, they control the people, which is why all the fearmongering about the virus. We have to remember not to engage our emotions, no matter how ugly the situation, but that's at least to some degree a learned process (easier for some than others). Some are still prone to slip back into emotional knee-jerk reactions, and they may not realize they have.
There will always be emotionally immature hot heads on both sides unfortunately. They don't see how unproductive and weak it makes them
