Like the famous quote in the film Amadeus “too many notes”, there have been ‘too many words’ online, too many written op-eds, too many incessant ads, too much media-mud-slinging and other hoopla associated with this entire Election. I am sick of it. I cannot wait until it’s over. Although, it may be awhile until it’s ‘really over’.
Those of you who know me well, know my political persuasions and social issue interests – most are moderate and I’d be labeled more conservative, yet some are unexpected. It’s also not my ‘go-to’ conversational topic as I find other things far more interesting.
This Election Eve, I have a little I wanted to share. Very few will read it, and fewer may care. That’s fine by me. But at least I said it.
Here goes:
If you are a Democrat and ONLY associate and have friends that are ONLY Democrats, something is wrong with YOU.
If you are a Republican and ONLY keep company with and are friends with ONLY Republicans, something is wrong with YOU.
If you cannot break bread, agree to disagree with civility, enjoy the company of others, and maybe even befriend those who think differently than you, something is wrong with YOU.
If you become completely apoplectic during a disagreement or when someone authentically (and politely) challenges your view or belief system, something is wrong with YOU.
We have forgotten the human condition within this Election. We have forgotten that no matter what political party, our blood is the same color and we all end up 6 feet under.
Pray 2024 will be different.
Stay safe.
