The elections are over. People on both sides are unhappy. And there is anger everywhere. Anger is a bad thing. His Holiness the Dalai Lama wrote "Happiness cannot come from hatred or anger.

This anger is unnecessary and of course not useful. An election was lost, a candidate won who shouldn't have won, in your opinion. A referendum was lost or passed. And you are not happy, in fact angry. People are angry at Banks, Corporations, Politicians, Tea Party, Liberals, Neo-Con's, People who don't agree with your opinions and on and on.
Lighten up, Nancy (Stripes with Bill Murry).
Yes, you lost. I lost too. But like in Judo, you need to use that anger to your advantage. Use the negative energy of the other side to counter and then thrust your hip into their beliefs and watch it crumble. But you can't do it angry. People have to rise above the anger. It isn't easy, because we like to be angry and the people around us are angry which feeds our anger and makes us part of a group.
Rise above it. Use your energy in a positive way.
