Coping With The Uncertainties Of The Election

It is a piece of cake

As the uncertainty surrounding the election continues, there will be a temptation to vilify and reject all those belonging to the other tribe. The very deep dive into division in America is becoming ever deeper.

The divide that we believe exists only between us and them is getting deeper in part because it also exists within each of us.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote in the The Gulag Archipelago,

Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart — and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains… an unuprooted small corner of evil. “
