So this post is going to be kind of political...seeing as that is what the country is focused on right now. But it is not going to be the same kind of political post as everyone else...I hope.
Anyway, the RNC and DNC have just happened and with that there are people on both sides of scale that will say the exact same things about the other side. Republicans say the Democrats are lying. The Democrats say the Republicans are lying. Everyone is taking sides and blaming people who are not on their side. It is sad. I know that having choices is a great thing for our country. It allows us to show our opinion and have more freedom in our government than most places in the world (I know, people are going to criticize me here and say that the United States is going down the drain and that the country is being destroyed, but really...we have it pretty damn good. So suck it up or move away and see if your life is really that much better). Sorry, that was a small tangent. Back to my point. The truth is it doesn't matter what you choose, as long as you do a few things: make a choice, respect others choices, and respect the end decision even if you don't necessarily agree.
We are so lucky to be able to vote. I am particularly lucky, as a woman. I am so grateful that I have that opportunity. It is something I have been waiting for since I was 14 years old. People fought for this right and so I am going to respect them by making a choice. I am going to choose to use that right and vote. It doesn't matter who or what I am voting for as long as I show I am grateful by going out and doing it.
And it doesn't matter what others believe. Let people decide for themselves. You may not agree, but they are people who still deserve respect, so don't degrade or look down on them for their choices. They are making a choice and that is what matters. If you don't agree, that is fine! But don't hurt another person because of that disagreement. When we begin to lose respect for our fellow man, we begin to lose part of our humanity all together.
