Why?

Hi and Merry Meet,
Why can't people just accept differences? Not just religious tolerance, but tolerance of all things. I see it everyday, people refusing to be kind to another person based on something silly like looks or fashion.

I have always marched to the beat of my own drum. I like looking at things from a different point of view. I try really hard to put myself in others shoes so that I can learn why they are the way they are. That's hard to do when you are mad or agitated. I know I can't always see an other's opinion when I'm seeing red myself. I'm learning to focus on relaxing and taking a step back when I'm mad. Of course, I think I'm slow to get mad... my husband thinks sometimes I can get upset at the drop of a hat! Huh, I don't know why he would think that!

Today's thought is that people need to be respectful and kind, it sure gets you a lot more than being nasty and rude!
Blessed be,
Autumn

  1. As a Libra, I usually can see both sides of a question. Sometimes this can be a problem, but most of the time it is an advantage. I too think I am slow to anger. But, when I do get mad, watch out. That accumulation erupts. My husband on the other hand says what he thinks, and then on to the next item of business. Don't know which is best, that's just the way we are.
