Been a roller coaster week. Nice gains in some combined with big loses in others adding up to an overall slightly positive week.

It's been a chaotic and roller coaster year.
Complete chaos. No clear consistent policy, leadership and direction.

Are you implying an elected official might possibly act unethically? Good sir, I suggest you reevaluate your position of chosen leaders!

When it requires fewer credentials to become a President or Congressman than it does to become an entry-level cop or 2nd Lieutenant, there's a problem.
Some people think it's cool that our elected leaders can be anyone, even inexperienced or poorly educated people (or convicted felons). I disagree.

are hardly aware that he exists.
Next best is a leader who is loved.
Next, one who is feared.
The worst is one who is despised.
If you don't trust the people,
you make them untrustworthy.
The Master doesn't talk, he acts.
When his work is done,
the people say, "Amazing: we did it, all by ourselves!"

Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men
doesn't try to force issues
or defeat enemies by force of arms.
For every force there is a counterforce.
Violence, even well intentioned,
always rebounds upon oneself.
The Master does his job
and then stops.
He understands that the universe
is forever out of control,
and that trying to dominate events
goes against the current of the Tao.
Because he believes in himself,
he doesn't try to convince others.
Because he is content with himself,
he doesn't need others' approval.
Because he accepts himself,
the whole world accepts him.
