Trying to understand another's motives

     I have to laugh about this. Our commander in chief seems to be the greatest enigma to the most thoughtful and percptive people that exist. His actions mystify them, his future direction is a constant source of conjecture, and the end result of all their pondering seems to be that he is either some sort of idiot savant/perceptive genius or a bumbling fool.
      I will not add my ideas of what he is or isn't into the mix. Instead I would like to point out the fact that out of however many millions of people there are in the U.S.A. there only seem to be a handful that know what this guy is likely gonna do next, because they've been around him long enough to kinda know.

    But this kind of thing is not just isolated to the commander in chief. This not knowing what another might do pertains to just about everyone, they just don't happen to be placed in postions of greatest power. How many managers and coworkers have mystified me? I still can't fathom my parents or siblings. My friends were puzzles. Relationships were bigger puzzles. I've talked to many, many others about this and nobody seems to know exactly what another might do next in whatever situation. Even if they've done things in a somewhat predictable way a thousand times before you can't say for certain that they will do it again.

    So where does that leave us? With today only. Yesterday is past and the future is nebulous. However today plays out, by the decisions made by the commander in chief and millions of other people, will be the result in this country at the end of the day. Tomorrow will certainly be different because only one thing can be said to be absolutely true-
     Things Change.
