The
Difference is…. The difference…
We have
become such a judgmental nation.
We judge
everything we do, that our family does, our friends and of course the nation.
Most
times… 95% of the time, arguing about
it. And more so in the past 12 years… actually I think it started with Bush jr.
election… The Democrats types arguing about his character as well as his
Presidental part. Heating up with
Obama’s elections.. and now it is like the oven of hell with Trump elections.
We are all
guilty in different degrees. The hatred that follows is horrible. Sometimes…hurtful… as it is a friend or even
a family member. I think most of us, or
at least my circle, doesn’t get so angry about the nationization of it.
It was
hurtful for me.. hearing my friends voices get louder and louder… while sometimes
questioning my intelligence… While I
would talk back.. I don’t believe I ever raised my voice… and I purposely did
NOT question my friends intelligence verbally… I question their judgment or
choices, in my mind.. but not verbally.
And then last year, I finally was able to find a place to put all of
it…
For those
who are friends.. still… not by me dropping them.. but them dropping me.. I
just stay away from politics, with those who get loud… and if I can.. stay away from the subject of
Trump… all together. Especially family…
Those I have let ramble on.. even when I know for a fact, that their facts are
wrong… I let it go.. not worth the hassle.
Then change the subject to grandchildren.. or their health and etc.
What has
help me is….. the words, different,
difference and differences… Just
because a subject is debatable, doesn’t mean you should… Once you tell
yourself.. it isn’t a matter of one being right or wrong.. it is the matter of
there being differenct views of subjects.
So you can listen
if you chose to… to maybe even hear something you might not have thought of
before… because you were so busy preparing your answer to their view. So if I feel up to it.. I listen and then
change the subject… Knowing.. I have a
different view.. and there is no way they are going to change that view.. just as
I know there is no way they are going to listen to me…and I won’t be able to
change their view.
My
listening ears shuts down when they get into the name calling or shaming of
others… I don’t go for that at all.
