This is a problem that I have had for a while but politics seems to bring it into focus every four years. Often I get quite concerned with things and I extrapolate and project the implications of them to be dramatic and far reaching. The reality is, that the number one, slam dunk driver for personal happiness is the decision I make in a day to day life.
My existing theory for why this occurs is that my job does not flex my cognitive muscles enough. So I'm left to try and flex and work them outside of that world. The unfortunate side effect of that is getting wrapped up in some polarizing discussions with no positive end. I'm starting a new job in a few weeks that I hope will allow me to utilize more of my big ass brain. I don't suspect it will flex it to the max but that's why I'm in school and hoping to find myself in a job that does take all of my flex power. Until then I'll be here dropping knowledge on the unwashed masses of p99 forums.
I really hope Trump doesn't drag this out with some malarkey though, that's not good for anyone.
