what we perceive

The Perceived  When Joe Biden the American president  walking up to the steps of his plane fell stumbled and fell several times possibly because his aged legs didn't lift high enough on the ladder rungs  Unwittingly, this mishap might have had had a bleak effect on the onlookers  and he was seen as an elderly man, not in good physical form  Sometimes, what we see comes true He has, after four years, shown the world  he is mentally up to his cargo. What we perceive, say, a physical act  can  be a forerunner of things to come When Jimmy Carter was president when participating in a local marathon  attacked by a wild hare and people came to see him as a weak president  which he was, although he was a nice person, little political savvy  He worked hard trying to free the  American hostages when the Iranian  Revolutionary Guard stormed the US Embassy, alas they were not set free before Ronald Reagan became president so he, the blessed man, got the glory We have the lamented Gerald Ford who became president when Nixon left and remembered for pardoning Nixon which I think was the right thing to do Otherwise, Gerald Ford, was seen as a fool His wife became famous for the posh clinic she ran helping alcoholics
