| Wouldn't it be nice if we could all sign a peace treaty? |
Here's the thing, you guys. I'm in a
frame of mind where I'm really tired of all the nit-picking and point
proving that goes on in the comment sections on social media. It
seems so agenda driven sometimes. So much so, that this blog is
starting to turn an important corner. I'd really like it to be mostly
raves with an occasional rant that suggests a positive solution,
rather than just incessantly bitching.
People really don't need to engage in
such negativity all the time. Oh sure, it's important to speak out
against injustice. Bringing unpleasant knowledge to light inspires
positive change. But once the knowledge is passed on, focusing on
positive solutions becomes vitally important. And absolutely, positive focus
can easily become complacency.
A healthy balance is what I'm seeking
these days.
My goal is to speak up but not take it
to the point where people stop listening. And I've stopped having
those crazy, underlying venom comment conversations too. I make my
point, if I have one, in a courteous manner. If I see that someone is
a bit over the top, I just move on. It's simply not worth the loss of
a friend or the negative feeling it leaves me with.
Of course, we cannot control what
others say and do. And I have no desire to do so. I also have no
desire to shove my point down anyone's throat. Their journey is their
own to make. So most of my blog posts and comments have a lot to do
with making peace. Naturally, some people even have an issue with
that. Hence, the whole moving on part.
Projecting anger, anxiety, insecurity
and hostility to prove a point just isn't worth what it brings you in
return. In fact, what generally happens is that you get them right
back, times a hundred. What's that clever, philosophical saying? You
know the one. It's about peace being the only thing that has ever
brought about positive change? It's so true, you guys. Be at peace
with yourself, your fellow human beings and the universe in general.
Example is really the only way to lead others to a better life.
Plus, smiling is good for you. We
should all do it more!
