Do I offend you? Do you not like the way I believe? Do you think I am wrong in my choices? Perhaps you think I could do better.

We are different…men, women, boys, girls, and that’s just the humans. Should we all strive to be the same? I think not. Do you want me to be like you? Whatever you believe, it’s important to you and whatever I believe is important to me. When you trivialize my beliefs, feelings, background, etc., you devalue me. I don’t like that. You may think that you are right and that I am wrong. That’s your opinion.
We can’t be the same and I don’t want to be the same. Sure, I think there are people who do not exercise all of their brain cells but I don’t either all of the time. I can’t find fault with you just because you are different. Why am I a little upset about this? Probably because I am tired of being bombarded by people who assume I am a republican or a democrat—that I am a conservative or a liberal—that I believe in certain things because I believe in God. I could tell what assuming does to people…ASSUME…but I’ll let that lie. 😀
I get tired of people passing on information they call important when it is more drivel. I am referring to making fun of a certain party, certain beliefs, etc. I don’t pull for one political party over the other. Personally, I think they are both fools. And, anyone who chooses to make fun of someone needs to look in his/her own sandbox before he/she starts to throw sand. It’s not that clean and we shouldn’t be engaging in such utter non-positive behavior. Yes, I’ve gotten fed up and that is not a place I like to be.
I value you and your opinions but … we need to stop hurting others. Remember that we can get a lot further if we work together. And, to let you know just how far off things get in life…
I am a registered democrat in my state for reasons I am not sharing here. However, I do not vote either straight party ticket. When I say the candidate’s view is what is important—I mean it. I used to be very conservative but found that I am a leaning liberal…ON SOME THINGS. I like the middle of the road more than either side. I don’t like to oppose something without hearing what you have to say. If someone tells me one thing, I don’t jump on the wagon just because it sounds good or 10 million people have already done so. Just give me some facts and don’t give me some rose-colored glasses. I can determine what is important to me.
Now. Could everyone please turn it down a few notches? We all want to be heard but we need to be kind to others. 😀 And, please quit repeating the same thing. I get it. I understand… May your day be so very blessed and may you find peace–always. 😀
Happy Gardening! 😀
Boy am I with you on this..Let’s all look into our own hearts and have God show us what is amiss…is that a word? Your pic is adorable! oxoxo
😀 It gets out of control doesn’t it? Yes, it is and yes, we should. Thanks for the compliment on the pic. I hope your day has been truly blessed. Take care! 😀 Hugs and prayers always…
Pretty background and header too!
Thanks, Roberta!
You go girl! 🙂 Dave
Thanks, Dave. I’m sorry but I got to my breaking point. Take care! 😀
Hi Amy! It has been ages and I am sorry that I have been a bad blogging friend. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry to hear you are gong well. I find reading helps me escape just for while.
It has been hectic here. Remember Murphy an all our problems in the house? We won the hearing against floor guy and finally after three years, we have a new floor. We also have a leak the day after it was finished and some anxious hours of making sure the floor was okay. Now then…Murphy decided he wants to stay I think… I am still putting things back in our house now a little each day so not online much.
I know this post applies to us all in all matters. My quilt group has been terribly hurt by one of the ladies writing a nasty email with her opinions on the group and why she is leaving. Sometimes we need to think and keep silent and this was one of the times.
Take care!
Wow! Heidi, you are fine. I have been the one who has not been very good. Glad to hear about the floor–not glad to hear Murphy didn’t move out. I know that feeling. As for other matters, I think we (all of us) don’t consider the feelings of one another like we should. So sad. Please take care and I will try to do better about visiting. This is the time of year that I love to visit… 😀 Really glad to hear about the floor! It has taken long enough. 😀
I have been thinking about this lately. I have nine siblings and, even though we were raised by the same parents in the same home, our political and religious beliefs range from liberal to conservative. This makes for some interesting holiday dinners:-) But, like you said, no thinking person is liberal or conservative on every issue.
Wow…big family, Bill! I bet that makes for some lively discussions. No one is going to agree and I think each person brings new thoughts to the table. We shouldn’t dismiss them so quickly. I don’t think we listen to people–to hear what they have to say because there is too much noise. Sometimes I think we all need to keep our mouths closed…me included 😀 . Take care of yourself! 😀
