It’s time for a new leader to take the reins. And all I can do is hope that the decisions made during the next four years will benefit all of us. The benefits may be itty bitty for some and quite extravagant for others. Who determines the doling out of these blessings is what puzzles me. But it always has and probably always will.
I’m not educated enough in politics to discuss how it all works, My basic understanding is that the president, congress, and senate are all supposed to be in favor of helping everyone else outside of that rather entangled sphere of things.
It gets even more tangled when I see the benefits he gets compared to what we get and I try to understand how the distribution system (politics?) works. Spock said it best when he was locked down in the engineroom of the Enterprise dying from radiation poisoning: “Don’t grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh…” Kirk finishes for him, “The needs of the few.” Spock replies, “Or the one.”
My brother is an artist and sometimes I’ll give him a prompt and he’ll do a bunch of magic with brushes and paint and turn out something like what you see above. I have it framed on my wall directly in front of my desk. There’re so many fascinating and interesting things going on in that painting. And every time I look at it, I see something I’ve not noticed before. I don’t remember the prompt I gave, I’m just grateful he painted it for me. I think I’ll give him the Spock and Kirk exchange for a prompt and see if he has time to create another magical painting. Maybe “The Golden Age” would be a good prompt?
