Trump just launched a super-belligerent defensive attack on a CBS reporter who made the mistake of asking an openly hostile question while being an Asian woman.

Life. You either learn to hold and regulate intense reactions to intense conditions while remaining in them or you retreat and keep retreating your whole life.

Why are those the only two options? Why not just focus on what you can control and expand the realm of what you can control? All you can *actually* do about anything Trump is vote against him in November, right?

How is that retreat? If anything it's stillness. I'm not saying don't expand (expansion is very important!), but focusing too much on events and people (specifically, getting emotionally invested) you have no influence over sounds unpleasant without any actual benefit.

File away the thought if it interests you, ignore it if it doesn’t. Maybe your future experiences will validate it, maybe they won’t. It’s not the sort of thing you learn through persuasion. It sinks in with time or it doesn’t, depending on where your life takes you.
