1/ I’m gonna tell you a secret - then it’s a Day or Twitter Rest for me
We all know the *conservatives* that insist nothing’s happening, nothing’s gonna happen, Biden’s gonna win, Trump will be unprepared & have gained ZERO confidence by all they’ve seen.
Want to know why?

2/ *They’re superstitious*
Not in the traditional sense, but on a much deeper emotional level
I loved my two dogs more than anything other than my wife
For 10+ years I dreaded them dying. I kept telling myself - they’re going to die & you’re going to lose them. It ruined hours

3/ Sometimes DAYS of my life
Then, after 10+ years, our sweet dog died very suddenly. I’d never had - nor lost - a dog
I wept for 3 days, & the pain was unlike anything I’d experienced
(I love few people/creatures, but I love them with all I have)
& after the worst...

4/ ...of the mourning passed, I had an epiphany
I thought about all those hours I’d spent dreading the pain of losing our sweet pup
& the pain I’d imagined was nowhere near what the REAL PAIN was
Then I had a second & much more important epiphany:

5/ that I’d thought by thinking about their oncoming death, I was somehow bracing myself
SO IT WOULDN’T HURT SO BADLY WHEN IT HAPPENED
This turned out to be nonsense, & the cruelest trick I’d played on myself
You cannot trick yourself into avoiding pain/disappointment
BUT

6/ you can ruin years of your life & joy by living like that
Thinking that you can control your emotional pain by living in a state of constant negativity “so you’re never disappointed”
is SUPERSTITIOUS GARBAGE
Life is full of pain. Life is full of suffering. But you CANNOT..

7/avoid that by living in essentially a depressed, joyless state
This is what our defeatist Conservative friends are doing
I guarantee you the day after Trump wins the 2020 election, they’ll go RIGHT back to
- It won’t matter
- BO/HRC won’t be punished
- it’ll be undone in 2024

8/ Here’s the nefarious part; they’re sucking up your energy
They’re vampires
The more evidence I threw at them, the more they moaned. Like Liberals, no historical memory
Like Drew Barrymore in “50 First Dates”
***they start each day at zero***
So only 1 thing to do:

If Trump lost (he won’t) the disappointment, rage & sadness would be beyond imagining
So do your best
Don’t let fear dictate your life
You can’t avoid pain
But you can create pain by avoiding joy
CHOOSE JOY.
