On why I don't "hide" or "unfriend" people that are in my social media feeds that post annoying things that I absolutely disagree with:
Because if I do that, am I not becoming the thing I hate? If I can't sit and listen to what the "other" person is saying, am I not succumbing to exactly the thing that we are all accusing one another of doing?
Sure, I have an opinion about how I think things should be done in politics, religion, family, school, food, and medicine...and guess what? I always agree with myself!
What I need, and maybe what we all need, is to listen to an opinion that is not our own.
I spent about 35 years trying to convince the world that the way that I saw things was the "right" way. Only in the last 3-4 years have I begun to shut my mouth and listen (still only happens a small percent of the time), and I gotta say, it sure is way more peaceful in my body/heart/soul/mind framework on this side of always being "right".
That being said, here are my opinions on a wide array of things...aka, The Friday Five!
