It is virtually impossible in this day and age in America not to be bitter. Especially if you are a Republican, but the bitter gauge is moving leftward with each passing day. Think about it for a moment folks. We are facing increased crime, higher prices due to inflation, a supply chain crisis, an immigration crisis at the southern border, a government trying to take away parent's rights to speak out on how their child is taught, an opioid crisis, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Damn, were also stuck with an inept, ineffectual and mentally deteriorating President. Recently Uncle Joe could not remember the name of the City with the second largest Port in the country he is elected to serve. A truly sad state of affairs resulting from our puppet President. It is no wonder his poll numbers are down the crapper (a mere 38% approval rating - pathetic).
But my friends, I'm not here to doom and gloom you. No, I'm here to deliver you a friendly reminder. So:
Plant a big smile on your face (it is easy, take your frown and turn it upside down). Life is simply too damn short to be bitter!
You heard me right people. While in the microcosm we may, if we are lucky, be present on the Earth for 60, 70, 80, maybe even 90 years. But looking at our lives in the macrocosm, we are here for but a fleeting moment. So there is no time to waste being bitter. We all need to smile and be happy and enjoy all the precious moments we have been bestowed with.
Let's face it, until the next national election, a year away, we are stuck with the Legislators we presently have. Right now, we can not do a damn thing to change the way we are governed (with the exception of protesting, but that is a conversation for another day). With the knowledge that we presently can't change it, why be bitter. No folks, being bitter serves no purpose beyond making us miserable.
Need help putting that smile on your face and being happy. Well, just open your eyes and look around. The world is full of beautiful, happy things, like. . .
Rainbows:
Puppies:
Sunsets:
Wildlife:
to name a few.
But our world is filled full with beauty and wonder. Take a moment to stop and smell the roses friends. Do not allow the world's ills make you bitter. Do not dwell on the negatives of the world as for the most part they are beyond our control. Dwell on the positive, on the beauty our Earth affords us, and let us all take positive advantage of our limited time here.
There's just not enough time to allow bitterness to control us. It is time to smile my friends - and enjoy!
