Greetings, all,
Trouble seems to be brewing everywhere I look these past few days. Lots of difficult tings in the wind. So for now, I just want to send tons of healing and untangling vibes to all who need.
As for the TOD:
I am mostly appalled at the dismissal of common respect for others in our world today. And nowhere is it more apparent than in politics. What happened to civility and communication? Yes, argue fiercely for your cause, but once all the trumpets have been sounded, then find some common ground to move the whole tribe forward in a good way. Compromise is collaboration and vice versa. Collaboration has now been brushed aside and replaced with an entire network (even a tv network) of lies and condemnation. Calling someone who thinks differently than you, but still wants a good outcome for all an enemy of the state? Truly sickening and deeply unproductive. Some of us still remember that respect is earned by giving it, thankfully. I choose to keep those people in my circle, and wait for the rest of the world to remember that you do reap what you sow.
It is time to silence the fringe loonies and let those on both sides who know how to work together lead the way again.
