Think of someone who loves you when they are in a loving/soppy mood, you know they are all soft and smiley and indulgent. Now picture the same person when they are feeling got at, and so their walls are up, they are brittle and maybe attacking and you can wonder if they still indeed love you at all.
Sometimes it's hard not to be like the latter, tho I believe (like Liz Gilbert yesterday) that we constantly get to make choices as to how we want to be, how we choose to react.
The bit I heard of Trump's speech yesterday was not one of attack. Maybe having won he - for now - doesn't have to justify himself so didn't have to be so defended. When we put our energy into defending ourselves we have much less energy to put out as love.
So what if we didn't concern ourselves with what others thought of us, so didn't need to put any effort into self protection, wall building, justification? We could instead spend all our time noticing the love, sending out the love, and simply enjoying being who we are not who others think we should be. Sounds good to me :)
