I intend to share this link with a handful of my poker friends who are suddenly following American politics with ardent fervor this last year. Following and seemingly foaming at the mouth. While I agree with many of the things that upset them, I also like to try to take a step back and see the other side of the coin (a skill I learned when trying to get into the heads of the villain in a poker hand) and really understand what he's thinking and how he got there.<br /><br />Your post here does exactly that. It succinctly distills the idea that people have feelings, sometimes strong feelings, and that reveling in other's misery, schadenfreude I think the Germans call it, is a double edged sword. What goes around comes around and I think we all need to realize that as a people, we need to try to work together with empathy and respect.<br /><br /><b>Thank you for sharing this wisdom.</b>PRB Editorhttp://professionalrakeback.comnoreply@blogger.com
