People can have the same or similar experiences and their reactions are wildly divergent. Want an example?

How's about childbirth? One gal will give you a blow-by-blow description of how bad it was how long it took how painful it was and and and and and. She will have been the one who talks to you about the morning sickness and the backaches and the kicking. Another gal having possibly experienced similar or the same degree of pain etcetera will simply tell you how joyful it was when they put the baby on her stomach and she saw her child for the first time and never talked about how she did for 9 months. She kept it to herself or she said it was easy peasy breezy. She didn't kvetch and moan and groan. Those women scare the bejesus out of women who never have been pregnant and make it sound like painful he**. One focuses on the difficulty/pain and the other focuses on the outcome. I don't know why people are like that. Do you? They will look at a scene and only always notice the shadows the dark side the underbelly. OR alternatively they don't notice the shadows because their attention is already captured by the light and beauty. Go figger! :(

    I don't need an example.  

    All we have seen is this in action.  You and I watch Donald Trump on TV and shout "TRAITOR, CON, CROOK, MORON, WHY IS THIS ALLOWED?" and the few who think they are benefitting from his outrageous actions, defend anything he does.

    What better example do we need?

    I have never given birth but as far as Pres. Trump is concerned we were not supporters of his and would not defend each and every of his actions.  We voted for him because he was willing to defend our more traditional American beliefs of freedom, personal responsibility, Christianity , and other things thus holding the line against liberal advocates of socialism, government control, and impractical pie-in-the-sky experimental Utopianism founded upon suspicion and resentment of hard work and success.  Beyond that really = I don't dee that he is anything so extraordinary in any way.  He has played a big game and been reasonable successful and I will gibe him that.  But everything you seem to object to in him, or at least the things I can understand and confirm, it seems to me are true of just so many men and only that he does not seem to care about hiding them because that is just how he is. I have worked with several similar people and they are not better or worse than anyone else.  Plus I don't choose to watch them on TV or concentrate on them which I think is just crazy especially if you are upset by them.  I have much better things to do with my life.

    The name sounds vaguely familiar Nanoose. I know there was a movie titled "Alice doesn't live here anymore" so maybe that's what I'm thinking about. So is Alice a drug addict? Did it show the dark side of addiction and the dangers or only the highs? Did your brother do drugs because he followed his cravings? Thank you for your reply. I know you're A-Okay cuz we chat a lot Nanoose. But how is your brother? Is he okay?

    Ya it wasn't Alice doesn't live here anymore/ Go ask Alice was based around Jefferson Airplanes song Go Ask Alice and the movie showed the good the bad and the ugly of drugs. Cheers!
