The World Is Yours

This elec­tion has brought out the worst in peo­ple. Fam­i­ly, friends, and strangers insult each oth­er because their ide­ol­o­gy does not align. If you are seri­ous about mak­ing the world a bet­ter place, edu­cate your­self. Pick up a book and read. Read books with dif­fer­ent views than your­self. Chal­lenge your under­stand­ing and under­stand the oppos­ing argu­ment. Lash­ing out at the oth­er per­son because they have an oppos­ing view show that you lack under­stand­ing of the top­ic. Under­stand Moral­i­ty. An oppos­ing view does not make the per­son evil. It also does not make it right or wrong. Prac­tice com­mon sense. If you call a per­son a racist, big­ot, or homo­phobe, what makes you think they will want to lis­ten to you? Lis­ten. If you have already formed your argu­ments before the oth­er per­son has fin­ished talk­ing, are you tru­ly lis­ten­ing? Let it go. When a wise man argues with a fool, it’s hard to tell who the fool is from a dis­tance. It is bet­ter to walk away when you real­ize the oth­er per­son is stuck in their ideology.

Late­ly, I have been let­ting it go. Ulti­mate­ly, time is pre­cious. I rather focus on improv­ing my under­stand­ing or mak­ing me happy.
