Why feel guilt? Whether we were created by a God or by nature, we were built this way, and you did not choose to build yourself:-). Instead, I see that you are honest about your feelings, which is more than I can say for a good fraction of the people that I have ever met.

We here are learning: there’s a LOT that we can no longer control, a good bit of which we used to if not be able to then at least we lied to ourselves that we could try to influence things by our votes. Long ago that used to be true, somewhere in the past few decades it changed and now we finally have the opportunity to be honest with ourselves. A chance which we are refusing to do btw.:-)

We will toughen up. Or die. Probably a bit of both.:-)
