Tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness, understanding. These are words that I have been using since I can remember, but oh man is it hard to display these easily understood syllables.
Why has it become this difficult?
I believe that we truly live in a day that people care more about themselves than others. Do I have enough? Am I satisfied? All we seem to notice is our needs.
My friends, this is very, very sad.
There is too much hate and unjust in this world to be like this. There have been too many devastating events happening around us to continue down this catastrophic road.
Just because someone is different, it doesn’t make them evil. Just because someone believes something different, it doesn’t make them a horrible person. Just because someone looks different, it doesn’t mean you can’t be friends.
We should be tolerant of differences. We should accept everyone. We should forgive. We should show understanding. We should do these things despite the differences.
Everyone deserves love.
Everyone should show love.
Why is hate such an easy thing to detour to? We need to stop taking the easy path and take the path less traveled.
I think we would all be happier.
We would be happier if we showed happiness.
And love.
Like a wise person once said, “Build bridges, not walls. Make love, not war. Spread positivity, not hate. Live life, be happy.”
