i don’t usually discuss politics or religion as a general
rule of thumb, especially not on social media platforms. and this past election
is no exception…holy crap was facebook annoying last night & this morning- i
ended up blocking about 1/3 of my ‘friends’ comments, including the people who voted
like i did. everyone is entitled to their opinion and should not be persecuted
for them- hence the birth of this great nation- but enough is enough. don't gloat and don't hate, so unbecoming of educated people.
i ask two things of all people... 1. listen and 2. think.
and let me tell you, it took me a LONG time to follow these two things myself,
so i’m not claiming to be perfect by any means.
listen to what
other people have to say, don’t just discredit them or their thoughts because
they don’t align with yours. you might actually learn something new from
listening (imagine that!?!). and think
about what you say before it comes flying out of your mouth…i have been very
guilty of this, very often, i’m still learning how to keep that under wraps. please remember, you are
committing the highest form of ignorance when you blurt out shit like, ‘if so
& so becomes president i’m moving to another country’…like, really? fine,
go, by all means, we’d get more shit done for this country without your
unreasonable, unwilling self. you’re not solving the problem, you’re becoming
the problem.
i was talking to someone on the phone last night about the
way the electoral map was filling out…
…sort of looks like the battle lines of the civil war- north
vs. south- add in a few oddballs out west & florida (florida is a clusterf@*k all together, no offense). not cool people, not cool at all. i think ultimately we all want the
same thing (more or less), we just have different ways we think it should be achieved.
however, WE ARE AMERICANS, WE ARE HUMANS…let’s not forget this. so before you
go blabbing to the virtual world; stop, listen & think…sort of like
stop, drop & roll, no?
