So, despite my career as a DJ, or perhaps because of it, I have developed eclectic taste in music. When I am angry, and not in the temporary, transitory sense, but rather the deep-rooted and near-permanent fashion, I prefer to listen to very calming music. I can be very explosive and temperamental when temporarily irritated, but I am utterly quiet when truly angry. It is a very calm and rational state for me.
Nothing calms me more than Byzantine chant, for whatever reason. Here are a couple of selections if you also need a similar soundtrack, watching as the country goes to pot:
Numbers 6:24-26
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
I came across your blog recently, I am an immigrant, not white, and a woman. Independent politically, maybe libertarian. And I decided to vote Trump a couple of months ago. My vote was less for him and more against the kakistocracy; more in solidarity with the forgotten people in the rural parts of the country (I’m sick of the elitism that is the norm around me). And I’m smiling as I watch the results. Agree with you this may not prevent the decline — but it may slow it down. Indeed we have to try.
Elitism is the cause of so much suffering on this Earth. The sad thing is, the Left used to at least pretend to be against it. Not so much anymore.
