| I admit it, my friends. | |
| I admit it. | |
| If I am not real with you about the problem of happiness, remember, my book on happiness is happiness is a serious problem. | |
| So I have always understood that it's a serious problem, and I've always told you, if nothing's horrific, life is terrific. | |
| You know, don't take the joy of American life for granted. | |
| It's not normal. | |
| The human condition is pathetic. | |
| Human nature is unimpressive. | |
| There are many impressive individuals, but human nature is not impressive. | |
| So I am as prepared for things like this as anybody is because I have understood what an aberration America and its freedom and its affluence. | |
| Have been. | |
| So to see people within the society destroy it, want to destroy it, they call it fundamentally transform. | |
| It's the same thing. | |
| When you fundamentally transform something, you have destroyed it. | |
| You have made something new. | |
| Maybe you believe you'll make something better. | |
| I don't. | |
| I don't believe that something better, something improved, yes. | |
| Improvement is always possible. | |
| But to destroy what has existed. | |
| This is an amazing place that we have created in this country. | |
| And I am convinced that a lot of you are anxiety-aridden at this time. | |
| I mean, this is more depressing in some ways than the lockdown. | |
| Because the lockdown ends. | |
| Now what will happen after it ends to so many people who have lost their businesses and their jobs? | |
| That's another question. | |
| And I have opposed that too, except for the first week or so. | |
| So I want to talk to you about that and what to do to deal with it. | |
| How do you deal with Watching your society be hurt, even perhaps destroyed, from within. | |
| Since the Civil War, this is a first. | |
| The enemies of America have overwhelmingly been outsiders. | |
| People who want to destroy the country have been from outside. | |
| Well, among other things what you need to do, I know what I resolve to do, my resolution is to fight back. | |
| And you can too. | |
| You can post things on social media sites. | |
| If you lose friends as a result, then what kind of friend was that person to begin with? | |
| If differing with somebody renders your friendship impossible, well, it's a very sad thing. | |
| I've never lost a friend over ideology. | |
| I've almost never lost a friend. | |
| But it's a very sad thing if it happens. | |
| And believe me, others have it worse. | |
| They have it with their spouse. | |
| And that's very painful to think about, to having such differences. | |
| So one of the things that you just have to resolve is you have to fight for this country and for its values. |
