This week has again been rough.
Not for the reasons you might think. Obviously, I'm missing David. It's hard to go on living life without the one you love. But at the same time, I have encountered some absolute hatred from people who disagree with me politically. And that is what is rough.
I always try to approach arguments/discussions with a sense of rational or logical thought. I believe I present my arguments in a valid manner, logically, and I try so hard not to be OR APPEAR condescending at the same time. Because that's not what I'm about. I only want to demonstrate the other side of the spectrum. Illustrate where I, and so many others, are coming from, but hopefully from a place of reason, where I won't come across as hateful or judgmental.
Apparently that is not possible in the current climate of this country.
I have deactivated my Facebook because of the absolute nastiness and judgemental attitudes that I have encountered, from those who claim to be my friends, to "love" me, and to be "tolerant and compassionate." I have learned a great deal about these people to the point where I want nothing to do with them.
I want to thank those who do hold opposing views, but have held steadfast to their ideals of true compassion, sympathy, empathy, and being kind to one another. You all should know who you are--and if you don't, I promise I will tell you in the next few days--but you are the promise and hope in this country that we all can truly unite.
To those who have pretended to be my friend, and then when I dared to challenge your point of view, you not only DIDN'T have the balls to tell me what you think to my face, but sicced one of the people I can't stand the most to do your dirty work for you--well, you my dear, are not what you say you are. I don't have to live with that--but you do. I can handle my situation--but you will forever have to live with yourself being a coward who cannot fight her own battles. Good luck.
And that's pretty much all I have to say right now.
