Thank you for this. It has always been a question in the back of my mind as to why previously "successful" persons would agree to risk it all to do Donald Trump's bidding. Trump is a characterless individual lacking both warmth and humor. His behavior is one only to emulate if your goal is to be a dictator or a thug or both. If you have spent your career believing your cause and character are just--even "holier than thou", why would you ruin it for this creep? Not much of any of this makes sense anymore except perhaps taking a break from the endless news cycle to do a bit of thinking and walking about. What has saved my sanity over the past several weeks has been encounters with really pleasant strangers in ordinary walks of life who have, by their interactions with me, made my day brighter. You cannot legislate a civil society, but you can make the lives of individual human beings better simply by practicing decent behavior.
