Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche difficult-situationsstrongwind God's strength makes us strong; His comfort comforts us. With Him, we no longer run; we rest. Dillon Burroughs strongcomfortrunning There's one America that Barack Obama wants, and there's a very different America that I want. I want an America that is entrepreneurial, that has a strong private sector in which religious faith is respected and even nourished, in which there's vigorous debate across the spectrum, and in which our universities teach real history instead of propaganda. Certainly the decline of America is a choice, though the outcome is not foreordained. But liberty is also a choice, and I'm doing my best to persuade the people of America to make the latter choice.

The answer is to recognize the anger, but choose to respond to the situation differently. Easier said than done, right?
