I see a lot of people posting things about removing friends from their Facebook, unfriending people, not wanting to talk to other people because they have opposing views. They don't believe the same things. They would rather not talk to that person or not see what that person has to say and not be part of that person's life. In some cases, these are people who, quite frankly, were truly friends. And let’s be honest, we all know we don’t HAVE to be friends with everyone, nor do we really have to like everyone, but wouldn’t it be nice if we all learned how to respect each other, especially for our differences? It’s like your whole world falls apart if someone doesn’t agree with you, or someone thinks differently than you or, God forbid, votes for a different candidate than you. Do you really need that much affirmation from another individual? Shouldn’t that affirmation come from within and not from others?
Shouldn't we all start to consider really what that means? I think it's time for us to begin to accept people for who they are. Notice I said “who they are” and not “what they do”. Our actions speak louder than words, but let’s face it, NONE of us are perfect. A person can accept another for their beliefs (love another despite what that other believes), yet not agree or condone how they practice or what they do. I've seen people on both sides of the aisle become rude, use foul language, put other people down, insult Friends of Friends and really just cross that line into being a real vicious and not-so-nice person. I believe those people exist on both sides of the aisle, top and bottom of the aisle, and kitty corner to the aisle, but you know what? We are all on the aisle.
