Differences.

There are so many that we come across daily. But what do you do when you're stuck dealing with it and can't necessarily walk away?......

Be the better person. Accept people for who they are, and don't try to change them (unless of course something detrimental is going on). I see myself as a very open minded and respectful of other peoples choices, even when i don't agree with it. I may make a comment about why i do what i do, or ask why they do what they do. But it's mainly to educate myself about other peoples ways and beliefs. I don't force my 'beliefs' on you or 'damn' you for not agreeing with me, why can't you do the same?

Nobodies beliefs are necessarily wrong. Just different from your own. I have nothing wrong with Peaceful Debate on touchy subjects, but once those debates turn to belittlement and feelings of entitlement....then we got a problem. Just be smart in your choice of words. Be Civil. Nobody knows what is really going to happen. Ever.

Everybody is Different, if everybody wasn't then we would live in one boring ass world.....probably a world much like the one dreamt up by Adolf Hitler or Napoleon. (I know those guys were to the extreme but get my point?) Of course you can be passionate about whatever it is that you believe in, but you have to be careful on how you passionately get your point of view across. You don't want to come off as a condescending Ass. Well maybe you do. I mean you never really know about people anymore.....

This is America. The Great Melting Pot of the World. So why is it so hard for it's citizens to grasp the concept of differences? This i will never know. For the record:

• I am Very Liberal
• I do NOT Believe in God/Jesus ect
• I am an AP
• I do not CIO
• I Speak My Mind
• I do not force my beliefs on others, and expect the same from others
• I am Open Minded
• I research EVERYTHING....Vaccines, parenting, theology.....whatever.

The list can honestly go on and on......i know that i am far from perfect. Nobody is Perfect. Does this make me a blasphemous danger to society and children? No. All i want is for people to respect others differences in choice and opinion. If we cannot this is going to turn this country to pieces. This is why we are a Democratic Nation. Because we are all different, and we need to find a common middle ground. Or perhaps get our heads out of our own asses for two seconds to listen to a different point of view. I try. Perhaps others should too.
