If you are triggered by either the ‘radical right’ or the ‘radical left,’ this is for you (and me).
I can be as guilty as anyone in this area, DAILY. And I am working on me.
The truth is that neither side is 100% correct. And neither side is as the media portrays.
We are being deceived. We are being pitted against each other. We are being manipulated by political parties, mega corporations, the media, social media, television, marketing and the the algorithms that collect your ‘clicks’ and feed us more of the same. Our division makes ALL these entities lots of money.
If you tune into a different media outlet you will be as shocked as I was about the story they are telling about ‘you and your beliefs.’ And you will wonder how anyone could believe ‘that.’ And if you take it beyond the obvious, you will see the devious and divisive ‘story’ for what it is.
Please quit listening to the rhetoric.
Become quiet and seek the goodness of humanity in our neighbors.
Remember the gratitude you have felt for someone different than yourself.
Take excellent care of yourself – body, mind and spirit.
Do anything that magnifies love, kindness and peace.
Spend time helping close to your own home. Reconnect with your neighbors. Perform random acts of kindness in your own little piece of planet Earth.
Change what you can and learn to accept (even love) what you cannot.
Refuse to believe badly of anyone you come in contact with, listen to their story and know that you have never walked in their shoes (even if you have tried to).
Choose to not be offended.
If you have faith, dig deep. Root into the core values of your beliefs – most faiths are based on love. Pray, meditate, contemplate.
Ask. Become Curious. Why do we believe what we believe? These are the solution to judgement.
Forgive everyone everything.
Love Team Human.
