Understand First

I also feel like it may become a little more black and white. Specifically, it becomes as if you are either on one side or the other with issues in the world. Yet, this is not always how it works. Most of the time and it’s not this way. I admit I am one-sided more than I would like to be, and I continue to be. It’s wholly inappropriate, and I feel like as a society should just stop. We find ourselves not listening to others and thinking they are nasty or right, depending on their beliefs. An example could be whatever their political party is. I just feel as if we need to stop and listen to people more. It is an experiment I’ve been trying, and I enjoy it; you get to know many people just be friendly. To me, it just seems like we’re finding excuses to hate. Maybe this isn’t true, but I don’t know why we would do it? Human nature is pretty whacked. There’s nothing wrong with taking a stand where you believe but harassing somebody because of where they stand wrong. It’s what they think; it’s their right doesn’t matter. What they feel might not be right, but this is America. I know everybody wants to be perfect, but it must be for everyone if we wish freedom. You may not agree with this, but this is my thought, and it’s also okay for you to not agree that is my point. I just feel like that should not make you hate someone just because they disagree with you; you’re allowed to hate them, but I think it’s not a good thing. I’m just tired of all the hatred that we keep getting. It seems to be worse than I’ve ever seen it. Quite frankly, it seems to be about some pretty silly things such as Political topics or whoever you support running for election. It is all sad to me that’s something so stupid is what fuels so much hatred. 

 With that, I am not against arguments what so ever. Healthy discussions are some of the best things people can have. They bring up everybody’s points in a friendly way; there is ultimately nothing wrong with that. I admire taking stands and what you believe in. that is not what my point is here; my point is that it’s gone too far. We are calling people out people getting threatened because they are standing up for what they believe. Let’s think about it. We can’t change what people think, so why are we trying to do this? Let’s just have conversations, friendly ones when’s that makes us understand. Why can’t we try to understand rather than hate? Ask!  Ask people, try to know where they come from then make your point. Don’t fight fires with other fires or even with gasoline. Fight fires with fire extinguishers. Remember Gandhi and how he fought with no violence, not even any hatred. That’s how we need to be; we need to understand all sides. Or we need to try at least.
