Sometimes it really hurts not to be able to say what I
really want to say on facebook. Why can’t I? Because I strongly feel that what I believe
is my belief and I shouldn’t push it on someone else unless they ask. Same thing with my political beliefs, yes I
have political beliefs. But if I say
something that offends someone it costs me.
It sometimes costs me a friend which is the most valuable thing in the
world to me. My political or religious
beliefs are not worth losing a friend over. And there have been occasions that it’s cost me money, retreat money and
even more importantly Relay donations.
So how do I handle keeping my mouth shut when everyone else is posting
things that REALLY upset me… I unfollow them. And as the elections draw closer I know for a fact I will be
unfollowing an awful lot of stupidly opinionated people.
And that’s all I’m going to say about that.
I know what you mean, Marge. I have even had to unfollow my sister and sister-in-law! I am so tempted to post things on Facebook , but what is the purpose? I get so upset and I don't need that at this time in my life. I don't mind that people have different opinions......or beliefs......what bothers me is the hate that permeates this country now. Oh, geez; here I go again. Sorry. This too shall pass; but it will take a major shift in attitudes!
