The U.S. election can be interesting. Almost like a
festival. Sometimes contentious. And more so when two unpopular candidates are
vying for the Oval Office. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
So one day I sat down to read the news regarding the
election. I read all there was to be said about Donald trump, his racism and his insult on women. I read all about
Hillary Clinton, her use of personal email server and of Benghazi.
In one particular article, I took time to read the comments
posted by readers. Of Trump supporters defending his plan to build the Mexican
wall and dismissing his talk about women as what all men do. Of Hillary
Clinton’s supporters saying that the email story was legless and that Hillary
has already sat for hours before a Congressional committee and demolished all
the Benghazi accusation. It was all interesting!
I do not remember the details of everything that I read on that
day but one stood clear. At the end of the thread, an American girl after
reading all the comments just wrote: “Don’t blow it, Hillary!” That is all I
remembered.
I reflected on that sentence. It was full of meaning.
Sometimes we do not need to say too much to convey our story. One sentence is
enough. Like the sayings of the sages. Those immortal words that have outlived
the centuries.
So what did she mean? She may have been saying that Hillary
should not make any more mistakes. She may have been saying that she wanted her
to win. She may have been saying that she wanted to see the first female
president of the United States.
And as if Hillary heard her, she has been careful in making
crafted speeches, wearing the right dress and smiling all the way. All well and
good. “Don’t blow it, Hillary!”
