An appropriate diversion.

Not good. To become emotionally distraught.  Over sad happenings. Better to get on with life. In a relaxed manner. Without fretting too much. That’s what President Obama did. He played a round of golf shortly after he declared himself ‘heartbroken’ over the brutal murder of American journalist James Foley. Some of Obama’s critics suggested he should have been grieving in a more appropriate (anguished) way.  But I’m with Obama on this one. It’s all right to postpone the grieving. And become immersed in an activity that diverts one’s mind from the horror of reality. –Jim Broede
