The Ability To See A Positive Side Of Unchangable Negatives

Love God and all things work together for your good.

"All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Rom.8:28

So what does a president do when he has practically the entire national, and even world-wide news networks, against him and disseminating fake news and lies about him constantly.  He doesn't have but maybe three choices. He can either hide in his Oval Bunker and hope those who elected him stand up against the lie mongers, or he can resign and leave the masses thinking he is guilty or he wouldn't have quit, or he can create his own means of countering the false accusations and getting his message out ... like on a Twitter account. Since President Trump has half the nation on his side, Twitter dares not shut him down for fear of loosing thousands of other, Conservative accounts. The News Media had him between a rock and a hard place called a Catch22, damned if you do and damned if you don't.... no way out. But Trump's 20 million Twitter followers are updated daily on the President's news, actions, and his side of the story. Besides his Twitter streaming out info, and "The rest of the story", the President's many Rallies, which are attended by tens of thousands of supporters, and with overflow crowds outside the arenas, are covered by that same news media that hate him …  because they are sure he is going to say some off the wall comment they can hang him with. If you haven't been able to understand why he says some of the agitating, and controversial statements he makes, he knows if he didn't say those things the news media wouldn't cover his tweets or rallies at all. Trump doesn't say all those questionable, controversial things by accident but by design … to get news coverage.  He isn't the first to stir the ire and manipulate an adversarial, contentious press to his own ends.  There was that great wit from the Dublin literary scene, the Irish Republican, who the press called "a drinker with a writing problem", Brendan Behan. It was Behan who said "There's no such thing as bad publicity …. except your own obituary". He had a great following due primarily to "bad publicity" by a hostile, self aggrandizing press. Trump is simply taking advantage of  the news media's 65% public disapproval polling number, which is far worse than his own. Yes, there are those weaker supporters, or maybe a few self-righteous ones, who so dislike Trump's abrasive manner, that they either dismiss him or vote Democrat …. You know, that Party of baby killing, open borders, free everything for illegal aliens and refusers to work, habitual liars, same sex marriage advocates, subsidizing the lazy and punishing the diligent, who are for legalizing illegal drugs and prostitution.  But fleeing Trump for a Hillary, Obama, or any of today's Democrat candidates, is like running from a verbally insulting, but innocuous, person into the arms of a maniac. Many a person has fled a minor problem only to run headlong into a far worse problem.

"As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him." Amos 5:19

No one's life is perfect. Everyone has problems.

So change those negatives which can be changed. 

Learn to live with those which you cannot change.

Be wise enough to know the difference in the two.

Strive for perfection but rest in your imperfections.

Don't be neutralized by the flaws in all humans.
Live at peace with God and with your imperfect self,

And you will live at peace with nearly everyone.

Do your very best for God, and He will do the rest. 
After all, both painful and peaceful life is precious.
