The President I'd Rather Follow
Everyone has their political leanings. This article is not about politics. It’s about leadership. I’ve become rather unnerved by reading the news lately. 2025 is not the year I was hoping it would be. I believe that elected officials should be leaders among the population that they represent. For example, a mayor should be a leader of and in his/her city. An elected board member of a nonprofit should be a leader among all who serve or benefit from that nonprofit. A state senator should be a leader in their state. By that same logic, a president of a sovereign nation should be a leader among his nation.

The Fire Alarm is going off. No one cares.
The fire alarm has been pulled. The alarm is going off. The lights are flashing. No one is panicking. No one is even paying attention to them. Smoke fills the air. The flames grow. We continue to go about our day as though the building isn’t on fire. It’s nothing more than annoying noise in the background. Maybe if we ignore it long enough, someone will shut it off.

The Nameless Mountain
There’s this metaphorical mountain that exists in life and it stands nameless. This mountain has not yet had anyone strike a flag into its worthy peak, though countless figures have laboured up its slippery slopes. The two faces of this mountain, while subdivisible into infinite variations, can largely be classified under the two distinctions of Infatuation and Disdain. These slopes are dripping in that oh so human catalyst to losing control called passion. And how miserable it is to sit at the bottom of this mountain, void of meaning and limp. However, the closer you are to the top, the less time it takes to scale a lateral 360 around this mountain, quickly pivoting from the face of Disdain to Infatuation.

Vicarishame - 5
I was driving most of the day today, getting only the snippets of the big news on the radio because NPR was running away from the frequencies available to me. But even the little news that broke through the static made me facepalm myself in shame for Trump.
