Hi guys! I’ve been feeling really upset about all the hate, intolerance, and “fake facts” coming into our society lately, so I wrote a post about it today on Facebook. And then I thought, well, why not share it here as well? So here it is, and it is my hope that you can stick with me through the whole thing (I know, it’s pretty long) and think about it. I know I need to think about such things myself, as none of us are immune from the “us vs. them” complex and the need to expand our own capacity for tolerance, understanding, and love.

“When disrespecting and attacking the judiciary, Muslims, immigrants, critics of the President, supporters of the President, supporters of any non hate group rival political party etc. becomes the norm, when force is seen as a better, easier option than creating more understanding of our differences from “others”, when threats and disrespect for democracy, coupled with a wish to build a “huge” wall instead of really making America great by providing Americans with healthcare, food, education, arts, a sustainable planet etc, when these things become acceptable and “normal” in our minds, then the battle is already lost. We cannot let that happen!
Violence, threats, hatred, and lies, regardless of which “side(s)” they are from, are not the best use of our shared future. It’s a simple question really: do you choose to focus more on love and hope to be blessed with a better understanding of our world and all those in it, or do you choose to focus more on differences and let forced ignorance cause hate in your heart? A lot of us probably fall somewhere in between, so it is up to us to choose which direction we will endeavor to travel in our lives…”
