Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We never watch the news, but last night we caught the end of the Newshour, and Shields and Brooks were discussing the possibility of Trump going to war over North Korea.  They were so depressed that fear shot up in me like a rocket.  We are in this netherland where a lot of us are waiting for something to cause Trump to resign before he triggers an apocalypse.  We petition, call our representatives, march, but yet, there seems to be nothing that stops or moderates his behavior.  I'm up to date, but I'm wondering what good it does.  The left watches its news and the right theirs, and a lot of people in between are just making up news like a children's fairy tale.  In the meantime, Trump is changing our lives in many ways:  from campus rape to health to immigrant status to a free for all on Wall Street to climate protection rollbacks.  Great damage has been done, and we will be, for the foreseeable future, repairing, not moving ahead, just like the hurricane and earthquake victims.
