I think I did it now. I told myself and my friend that we had to stop responding to the political things we posted on Facebook. I tried. I really did. And then I posted one that was a challenge and my friend wrote back something like "Really?". I tried to back pedal and another friend caught me trying to excuse myself and stand up for what I'd posted.
So, first, I'm apologizing for getting involved and making digs at people I care about because they think/feel differently than I do.
Which leads me to the question.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US?
None of us actually know the candidates who are running. But, we know our friends and families.
What is it that makes us so crazy that we insult people we love defending people we don't know?
I truly believe that neither of the candidates gives a rats ass about the middle class, or anything that doesn't in some way benefit them.
So. WHY THE HELL ARE WE FIGHTING EACH OTHER?
For some reason, we are brought up to believe that we are supposed to belong to one or the other political party. And, as my son-in-law brought up, how the Hell did we wind up with only two? But it is what it is, so we have to choose. Or maybe not.
BELIEFS CAN BE OUR ENEMY.
The area that belief usually comes into play is in religion. That is because it's faith based and not fact based. This is true about beliefs as well. We hold a belief even when it doesn't make sense.
example: HE HITS ME BECAUSE HE LOVES ME.
CONCLUSIONS:
We are self-destructing over our beliefs.
We are acting irrational due to our beliefs.
We have handed our brains over to our emotions, due to our beliefs.
WHEN THE ELECTION IS OVER AND WE ARE LEFT TO GO BACK TO OUR LIVES, WILL BE HAVE OUR BELIEFS AND HAVE LOST SOME OF OUR GOOD FRIENDS?
WAS FIGHTING OVER THESE TWO ASSHATS WORTH IT.
THAT'S IT. THANKS FOR READING.
