Personally, I am sad for humanity about the US election results.
This line from my former business coach’s blog this morning seems like a good way to look at it.
We ponder on the sometimes bewildering outcome of democracy in action (whilst reflecting on the privileges it brings) – and then adapt and get on with it.
And looking forward The Daily Stoic perhaps captures it best;
Our job today and tomorrow is the same as it’s always been—to be good, to be wise, to stand up for what’s right, to resist what is wrong and evil. Nothing changes that. Nothing exempts us from that. Nothing prevents us from doing that. The consequences and the costs and the stakes can change…and these election results may well have done that, but the obligation remains.
‘Amor fati’ has served me well in the past and it will again today.
Life continues.
Back to work.
