Unfriend

The big issue I have with Social Media is that people tend to be surrounded by those with similar views. This is very insulating as the world in general does not operate this way. We should welcome those with different views into our lives as that is how we grow. However in this age of social media we are unfortunately responding to those with different opinions with insults and hatred.

Listen and ask questions without resorting to knee jerk reactions. Find out why they think that way and do so with an open mind. God forbid they may be right and you may be wrong. Having a different opinion does not make one a bad person. Being an ass hat because opinions differ will not win you any love or respect.

Going forward instead of unfriending those who see the world differently than you do, ask questions and find out why they see things the way that they do. Offer them your opinion and reasons behind it only if all parties can remain civil. You could be surprised as you may learn a thing or two.

Today I am thankful for all I have learned from my friends by keeping an open mind, for all my friends who have stayed in touch even with our difference of opinions and to those who have unfriended and left I wish you well.
