We’ve all had bad luck.
Here’s an example from my life as a marketing consultant to large tech companies, including IBM and Hewlett-Packard.
I had just flown into Phoenix from Boston, landing in the late evening and getting a taxi to a posh resort for an all-day team-building exercise with my client the next day.
I saw someone get into a limo as I got out of the cab and yanked my luggage out of the trunk, and I asked someone, “Do you happen to know who that is?”
“Oh yes,” someone explained. “Oh yes. That’s John Phillips (of the Mamas and the Papas).” He was performing with his wife (Michelle, pictured at left). They just finished.”
I had missed the Mamas and the Papas by about 20 minutes.

What We Can and Cannot Control
As always, the Stoics have nailed it.
This does raise the question, however: What actually is out of our control?
Does the individual American citizen have any control over whether or not a sociopathic criminal remains in office as the U.S. president?
Very little, but we still have the obligation to raise our voices and tell our congresspeople that Trump must be removed.

What Has Happened in the United States Recently
Here’s a good reminder of how the United States is regarded today.
No, it’s not how like it was just a few years ago when we were a land of law, and we had allies all around the countries that supported honesty and democracy around the world.
Now, the leaders of Canada, Panama, and Greenland all fear for their safety, and the world lives in fear of the insanity into which the U.S. has descended.

Current Events Can Be Depressing
Hardcore Trump supporters are having a great time watching their hero illegally invade other countries and commit whatever moral atrocity he performed the day before.
The rest of the world is in shock over the fact that Trump has turned this country into an authoritarian state.
It’s easy to understand the thinking of the lady in the cartoon here.
