A realistically sober question … thinking of “star” in both celestial sense and popular-personality sense … whatever’s coming, may I find the good in it (no matter how much is not-so-good)

Wise men do understand…. hoping there will be more of them in 2020. (Thinking of this as relating to both our country’s current situation – and universally.)
