So many terrible things were said during this past election. I thought I had heard/read it all.
Until the President's speech last night.
Holy cow.
I started reading comments on Facebook and Twitter. Then I went to newspapers and TV websites. I have watched horrible things be said about our President and have always shook my head. What I have read in the last 24 hours just baffles me.
So much vile. So much hate. So many terrible words not only about the President but about immigrants, liberals, and anyone who might support anything the writer disagrees with.
I disagree with many when it comes to politics. And I agree with many. Those I disagree with I choose not to hate or demonize.
I'm much more about finding what we have in common and building bridges. Having a conversation. Debating our thoughts, ideas and solutions.
So I am going to be nice to those I disagree with. I am not going to become a person filled with negativity, judgment and hate.
I am just as powerful of an activist while filled with kindness.
Thanks for reading!
I couldn't agree with you more. A friend of mine recently said "you know the type. The ones who win a disagreement by yelling 'I'M RIGHT' at the top of their lungs." Makes me sad and yet, there are lots of us with compassionate empathy out there. We just tend to be a little quieter. Grateful for your perspective!
