Stand strong

The departures of Colbert and Kimmel, and who knows the next one, are apparently for a number of reasons, officially costs and rating, but there is also a common occurrence, they criticised President Trump, a lot.

He has commented “... all they do is hit Trump,” and “I would think maybe their licence should be taken away.” and maybe I could use the same approach with those that have displeased me, the bully in grade two, the gym teacher who doubted my ability, although accurately, and the English teacher who said I was going to fail badly, although I am not sure how you could fail goodly.

What I have actually done is forgotten them and moved on. You need to stand up to bullies and that can be by just ignoring them. A frail ego needs a lot of protection at times but it shouldn’t be at the cost of other people’s jobs.
