The opposite of anxiety is not calmness, it is desire. Anxiety and desire are two, often conflicting, orientations to the unknown. Both are tilted toward the future. Desire implies a willingness, or a need, to engage this unknown, while anxiety suggests a fear of it. Desire takes one out of oneself, into the possibility of relationship, but it also takes one deeper into oneself. Anxiety turns one back on oneself, but only onto the self that is already known. There is nothing mysterious about the anxious state; it leaves one teetering in an untenable and all too familiar isolation. There is rarely desire without some associated anxiety: We seem to be wired to have apprehension about that which we cannot control, so in this way, the two are not really complete opposites. But desire gives one a reason to tolerate anxiety and a willingness to push through it.

Mark Epstein refuted an old claim the president made about his pedophile pal.
President Donald Trumpâs long-ago claim that he hadnât spoken to Jeffrey Epstein in 15 years got challenged by the late financierâs brother on CNN Thursday. (Watch the video below.)
âOutFrontâ host Erin Burnett played a 2019 clip of Trump insisting after Epsteinâs arrest for sex trafficking that he hadnât âspoken to him in probably 15 years or moreâ and that he wasnât a big fan of Epstein. That would place their last conversation in 2004.
But Burnett noted that Mark Epstein had claimed they had a conversation in 2016. The sibling elaborated that it was after Trump had beaten Hillary Clinton to become president for the first time.
âAfter the election, I usually speak to Jeffrey regularly, and in one of the calls .. Jeffrey told me that ... it was after the election that Trump called him and it was sort of like, âCan you believe this?â Because nobody believed Trump was going to win,â Mark Epstein said. âTrump was sort of surprised himself that he won. So Jeffrey said [Trump] called him like, you know, âCould you believe this?â type of a phone call.â
Trump allegedly wanting to share his joy and surprise â or just to brag â to Epstein paints a different picture of why and when Trump and Epsteinâs friendship soured.

"Is it a joke? Is it not? Whoâs he talking about? We donât know,â U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia said about the peculiar discovery in an interview
Christopher Wiggins at The Advocate:
The latest tranche of emails from the estate of late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein includes one that contains what appear to be references to President Donald Trump allegedly performing oral sex, raising questions the committee cannot answer until the Department of Justice turns over records it has withheld, says U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.
Garcia insists the Trump White House is helping block them.
In a Friday afternoon interview with The Advocate, the out California lawmaker responded to a 2018 exchange, which was included in the emails released, between Jeffrey Epstein and his brother, Mark Epstein. In that message, Mark wrote that because Jeffrey Epstein had said he was with former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, he should âask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba.â
âBubbaâ is a nickname former President Bill Clinton has been known by; however, the email does not clarify who Mark Epstein meant, and the context remains unclear.
[...]
âDonald Trump is clearly panicked,â Garcia said. âHeâs obviously obsessed with hiding the files, and he has the power to release them today. If he wants real justice for the survivors, he should release the files today.â
In a written statement released to the public, Garcia added: âOur Oversight investigation has Donald Trump panicked and desperate. He is trying to deflect from serious new questions we have about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The President has not explained why he wonât release the files to the American people. Or why sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a cushy low-security prison after her interview with Trumpâs former personal lawyer.â
[...]
Newsweek reported Friday that Mark Epstein told the outlet the âBubbaâ he mentioned in the 2018 email was not Clinton, though he did not clarify who he meant. On Saturday evening, Mark Epstein, through a spokesperson, sent The Advocate a statement denying that âBubbaâ is Clinton.
Turns out that the âblowing Bubbaâ reference in the Epstein Emails has nothing to do with Bill Clinton.
