When I woke up this morning, I
checked the calendar and it read March 9, 2016. I blinked and shook my head and
read it once again: March 9, 2016. Amazed, I wondered how it could be 2016 if
some people still acted as if they were living in one of my past lives where whenever
a person disagreed with you, you would simply take your sward and off with
their heads it would be? Medieval Times aka The Dark Ages.
Perhaps I need to make myself a bit clearer.
Despite the technological advancement and discoveries in science and medicine,
there are people who refuse to accept that not everyone needs to agree with
you. People are allowed to vote for whoever they want to, read whatever they
want to, think whatever they want to, in short, do whatever they want to as
long as they respect the next person.
However, that is not what you see in
today’s world, especially on social networks or in the media. There are some people
who call the others stupid if they have a certain opinion, but, of course, they
are not as nice as I am being and tend to use really harsh words to tell the
other person that they are wrong. Wrong according to whom? Wrong according to you
who is disrespecting the other’s opinion by calling him/her stupid for
believing what they believe in?
I realize that I am beating around
the bush here and if you have caught my message I do not want to specify, but,
nonetheless, I am speaking about politics, abortion, being a woman, being a
child, being a human being in this day and age.
People are cutting other people out
of their lives simply because they do not agree on some topics. I guess that it
is human nature. Who says that you need to agree on the same things? The whole
world is a mess. It does not only happen here in my country, but also in other
countries.
I always say that one should live
and let live. Disagreement is necessary to help people evolve. The important
word is RESPECT. Listen to what others have to say, reflect and talk about what
is going on with respect.
