Enough. It is Time for Us To Change
As a country, we have to start focusing more on finding common ground.
We are all different.
That should be a good thing, but instead we demonize and dehumanize it. Differences of any kind are not something we should be afraid of, but something that should interest and intrigue us.
What we should be afraid of is hate, ignorance, intolerance, and a lack of willingness to challenge what we believe. We’ve grown into a country of bipolar beliefs and it is making us weaker morally and ethically, but we are also less than we can and should be as a world leader.
What is it going to take to understand that we are all fighting the same good fight? We all struggle and none of us is perfect. We need to be helping and supporting each other instead of condemning (and murdering) each other.
Please love your fellow man, women, immigrant, or whatever. We’re all more alike than we are different.
Please think about it. Don’t react based on emotion and anger. Think compassion, empathy, and a willingness to listen and try to understand.
