Dear Friends, I don't know who is still accessing this blog and if people who look here are also my friends on Facebook. Today after I found out the results of presidential election I posted this short piece on my page.
I love USA. I found there education, work and more importantly friends and love. There has been a time when I wanted to become a citizen and possibly even move there for good, I hit 25 States and I have tried in every way to understand and "be" an American.
Today I cannot say I am entirely shocked by this election results. Although Democracy is sometimes hard to digest, it's the best system and in any case give you the best snapshot of what's in "people's mind".
I have witnessed the hate, anger, paranoid fear on which this presidential campaign has been thriving, at every level (interpersonal, workplace, life, internal politics, international vision). And I have also seen other "Trump's traits" like prejudice, racism, sexism, segregation, judgment, self righteousness, narcissism also at every level and surprisingly in every direction.
I think USA should stop and consider what feelings its population has been breeding and each one of us should ponder how WE made it possible, because we possibly had same processes going on unnoticed in ourselves.
Today is a bad day for me and my values. And this also implies that I have to do more for nurture them. At every level.

It's our darkest hour, may the Force be with all of us
