[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 664926, member: 18958"] Donald Trump does not expect that the world be a loving and benign place. He expects attacks. He sees responding to problems as the way to be strong. A bit later in this editorial (Maureen Dowd, NYT) he talks about beautiful people who gain privilege and rewards through their looks. They lack the problem solving skills of others, who have been forced to become tough, in order to live. When Donald Trump is punched, he punches back. In fact he kills. He responds with a deadlier blow. Donald Trump does not ask himself if it his fault. He does not look for the hidden flaw or vulnerability inside of him, his secret shame, that caused the abuser to target him. He sees predation as part of life. He does not see himself as a predator. He sees himself as a nice person who does not attack until he has to to defend himself. And then he destroys. I think there is something to be learned from Trump. Even though I would not emulate him. I think in the beginning all of us are sensitive souls. But we branch off in numerous directions. We become like Trump. Destroying all comers. We become predators. We close off in other ways too. Or we stay sensitive souls. That does not mean we are responsible for the bad choices of others who change and take a different direction. To become bullies and attack us. There are always predators in the world that attack. It is our response that is the problem. We blame ourselves. [/QUOTE]
