Together

• 

I have tried to avoid bringing this up but with how many negative things being circulated right now on the news and social media – media in general, I feel I have to speak about it.

We are all in this together.

You have different opinions than I do and thats okay. You have a different point of view from literally every other person in your life and every other person you have encountered. It’s natural and a part of life.

We each live and think and love differently than everyone else. But we are all here together.

If you can’t agree with someone, if you can’t love or like someone then that’s okay. You can still keep them in your life.

I’ll say it again; we are all here together. We are all living on this earth together, until we die.

AND

We are all completely and utterly different from any other person. We may have similar traits, similar likes/dislikes/ or similar points of view, but we are all unique.

Why then are so many people incapable of accepting or even just respectfully and silently tolerating people who are different from them?

If difference is the norm than why as a society have we been struggling with it for so long? Accepting each other and embracing one another even though our views don’t perfectly align is actually a good thing. If we were all the same then we’d never grow, never connect and never change.

And if you surround yourself with only people who are similar to you and, ex communicate anyone who is different, then your views and way of life are never challenged. You never have a chance to see anything through someone else’s eyes.

We are all in this together. You can have vastly different views from someone and still maintain a relationship with them. It’s impossible to always agree so eliminating people from your life because of it, will one day leave you all alone.

Accepting and embracing one another despite our differences is one of the keys to life. If you didn’t know it already then go ahead and unlock the door, you’ll find on the other side a very simple truth; we are all in this together.
