hey, these kinds of posts are sure popular so.....

 

Not a rant but a soft truth.

Who decided that we had to be all one thing or the other?

Who decided to completely obliterate the middle...

Grey is no longer a color?

I hate that.

I, for damn sure are more than black or white.

Most people I know are.

They are not bad or good.

I am not all bad or good.

So why do we allow anyone to classify us like a museum

specimen to make themselves feel *better*?

Why are we villainising people for having opinions

or not using the correct terms or thinking differently when interacting with us?

did I miss the memorandum ?

I mean, I was taught by my mom to be kind & polite to all.

Period.

Not to be rude or self important .

Morals? Yep...I am accountable to something bigger than I am.

To not be negates that you are moral at all... because that makes you your own

omnipotent being and biased in a big way.

Here's the thing......

Everything I like can be classified as bad or good.

From what I love to eat to what music I listen to, to

whom I pray to, what I allow inside my body to nourish myself

or what pet I have.

EVERYTHING.

Like:

The sun...

Bad thing that gives us cancer OR life giving light essential to all life.

Beef....

Been around for thousands of years &  with the most bio- available nutrients on the planet

OR

Artery clogging menace

Patriotism....

This is a hot subject....

Now I have heard some calling patriots Nat(z) is...& racists .

Among other things, both are just incorrect usage of those words.

OR

Is a patriot someone who places value upon where they live with

a healthy respect for those who have fought to protect it?

Chocolate cake...

Diabetic pathway OR  happiness in a pan

Johnny Cash.

Good man doing bad things

OR

Bad man doing good things?

Country Vs City

Well, you can find bad and good in both.

So why should I listen to folks who only see things one way about

what they personally disagree with?

Why get mad or worse at someone that you have a few disagreements

with when it is possible that you may see eye to eye on

most everything else?

People in my life are way too precious and complex to me than seeing  them

everything in this overly simplistic way.

I have always refused to jump on the train of this or that.

...and know that I feel this way about YOU.

About most everything in my life.

So people may leave or vilify me for what I  believe

and I can continue my life with a clear conscience .

I am not them.

I do not require anyone to agree with me for me to care for them.

Period.
