✝️. when nobody on the Earth shows you they Love you.. it was never proven one bit, only the opposite. Then it's okay to #Suicide, at a certain point that's what is needed to not Lose Face
✝️. when you got a person like me around, I'm sorry but then you're just so mean to not even TRY and stay alive. Instead aiming for Death with me fighting for your life. You are an #EGOTIST

#Trump did not take the White House, it was given to him.

However you look at it the people of the #USA gave the seat of power to an #egotist, a #misogynist, a #felon, and worst of all, an #idiot.

Power is not taken, it is given. Actively, or passively.

In this case too few Americans voted for freedom.

But I wonder, even if enough of you had seen what was coming, would you have done differently?

If you get another opportunity to vote for a presidential candidate, and I can't be sure you will, please make sure you do, and with a clear knowledge of just what it is you're voting for.

A quotation from Chamfort

Education must be based on two things: ethics and prudence; ethics in order to develop your good qualities, prudence to protect you from other people’s bad ones. If you attach too great an importance to goodness, you produce credulous fools; if you’re too prudent, you produce self-serving, scheming rogues.
 
[L’Éducation doit porter sur deux bases, la morale et la prudence ; la morale, pour appuyer la vertu ; la prudence, pour vous défendre contre les vices d’autrui. En faisant pencher la balance du côté de la morale, vous ne faites que des dupes ou des martyrs; en la faisant pencher de l’autre côté, vous faites des calculateurs égoïstes.]

Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 5, ¶ 321 (1795) [tr. Parmée (2003), ¶ 205]
