It's midweek once again. Have a happy one. ✨✨

I'm a bit low on happiness and motivation due to the dismal results of the recent election. The honest, competent public servants are in danger of losing to a bunch of clowns who carried popular names. I'm guessing that's why they won. Most Filipinos are celebrity worshippers. I've said that ages ago. They have not gotten past idolatry and the worship of gods. 🤡🤡 so ironic for a country that claims to be Catholic and Christian.

It's beyond my control unless I'm the Scarlet Witch and have the power to annihilate bad guys. 🙄🙄 but this is reality and we will have to live with the consequences chosen by the majority of dumb and dumber Philippine voters. Time for Plan B. Focus on self and family. Work on self-reliance and self-preservation for now. It's also time to clean up my mainstream social media feeds. Good riddance I'd say, 'coz I believe in the adage, "tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are." Plundering a country at the expense of the population is unacceptable for me. No compromises. Human rights violation is alo a big NO for me. I do not need to be a rocket scientist to know which candidate deserved to run the country. I simply care too much for my country that my heart is bleeding right now. 💔💔

Do your part in fighting disinformation. This is what killed the righteous campaign as they were washed down by false claims that took years in the making. At the end of the day, I still believe that good will somehow rise over and above evil. We can defeat it but we need to be our own heroes fighting the battle ourselves.

Enough of my rant. I know I have been sleeping well 'coz I have a clear conscience and know that I chose well during the election. I stand by what I believe in with conviction. Happy pill for today are the multiple postcards I received in the mail. Yay! 💕💕

That's it for today. Good night from Manila. Just a few more days before the weekend again... 🎉🎉🎉

See you tomorrow for #thankfulThursday.

I'm sorry to hear that you are a bit sad today and that the election's outcome ruined so much of your happiness and motivation.
I know what I will say, most likely, will not make you feel much better or be some immense comfort. But, I have a feeling that such clowns and jerks are in leading positions and ruling almost every country around the world (due respect to those countries that are rare exceptions), and no matter did they got their leading position by stupidity and blindness of the people or by manipulating or even stealing the election's outcome.

We had almost the same thing here last year, although it wasn't on the national level as in question was the position of the city mayor, but I'm talking about the city, which is the capital of the country and whose citizens number 1/4 (25%) of the population of the whole country.
The previous mayor was cluttered with all sorts of accusations about corruption, like giving jobs to family members, friends, and relatives, allegedly spending enormous amounts of money for allegedly ridiculous things, etc.

I'm not going into it and how many of these accusations are true or false and to what extent, but the truth is that this previous mayor has been in that position for the last 20 years and did for this city and its citizens that much that all the previous mayors combined, in our 900 years old history, didn't do!
He truly cared about people, especially the "little" and poor ones. He cared about overall prosperity. He invested in and improved the infrastructure of the whole city a lot. He was easily approachable, always first on the spot when something bad would happen, and ready to help by all means with all available resources.
People sometimes laughed when he was announcing some projects or presenting ideas, but it always turned out that he was not just talking, he was actually doing it. In short, he lived and breathed for the benefit of this city and its citizens.

Last year he was running for a new mandate, but a couple of months before the end of the election he over a sudden dropped dead. (I'm still not sure if he died by natural cause.)
His main opponent, financed by Mr. Soros and company (do I have to add anything more?!) won the election because people were massively fooled by his empty promises. Young people especially, but also many in their 30's and 40's, were utterly deaf and blinded for anything else except his empty promising slogans, showered all around by a very well and professionally managed (expensive) campaign.

All in all, the current situation is the following...
Our good old mayor is dead, and we have a new young (40-something) clown as a mayor, who is nothing else but somebody's (with not the slightest bit of good intentions) puppet. This means that this new young mayor is doing everything the opposite of what he promised in his election campaign. But that's not all! He is even doing worse things about issues he was accusing or even suing for the previous mayor!

Despite that, believe it or not, there are still people who are deaf and blind, not just for his somewhat more minor mistakes but even for some very big wrongdoings, and there are plenty of them with the new ones constantly rolling in.

In short, all I wanted to say is that I think how I understand you very well.
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about it on a big scale with just one or even a couple of actions. Therefore, I decided to act in my micro-world micro-sphere (as I have even some family members who are entirely deaf, blind, and stupid) by explaining some things from different angle (as I also realized that many people actually don't understand how some things are functioning, correlate or even have a direct impact on some other things important to them). So, I'm trying to spread the word, bring some light, or slightly provoke others to use their common sense and most simple logical and critical thinking.
I know that my approach is a long and definitively less traveled road, but I believe it might be the only worth one to bring some changes.

Sorry for such a long comment, and stay !ALIVE

Thank you so much for the story that you shared. It did help lift my spirit. Keep up with spreading good vibes. I believe in what you said. It will have to begin with each and every one of us if we want to see change in the world.

Our situation is tragic, but I guess we are all to blame as we let evil go unnoticed and unchecked. Evil will always find a way if we let it. It surely has lots of agents out there willing to do its bidding. It will be up to us all to be agents of good and change.

I'm truly happy if my comment helped you even just a bit to lift your spirit! 😀
I agree with what you said, but I would also like to add that I believe that God and the good have lots of agents out there too. The "problem" is that those evil ones are most often louder, more aggressive, and therefore appear bigger and stronger. In contrast, the good ones are more silent and self-effacing, so it seems like they almost do not exist as they are hardly noticeable, but they do exist and their number is way more significant.
Therefore, I think we need to put in just a bit more effort to find and/or recognize them, tell them that they are not alone, and join our forces for a good cause. 💗
