Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

It's challenging to stay positive when in one day Trump reiterates his refusal to step down if he is defeated in the election and Breonna Taylor was murdered but not by anyone. Trump is insane and it is strange indeed that the bullet that hit the wall is evidence of wrongdoing, but all the other bullets are ignored, including the ones that killed an innocent woman. It's about as weird as women going to prison for life for defending themselves against their husbands who were battering them or the husbands who ask and are granted custody of children whose mother has had her arm or leg broken or been hospitalized by this same man. Battering a child's mother is not my idea of a suitable scene for a child to witness and to have that father granted the power to terrify his kids with impunity is the reverse of the term "child protection". It's a crazy world, where logic, reason, science and compassion are ridiculed in favor of maintaining power and fear over others. My mystery I'm reading is not as convoluted as the world I'm living in.
