can I be different
without believing
that my way is better?
sometimes
but it doesn’t come easy
it’s worth the effort though
because that’s the path of peace…

Thanks! Very true. It’s hardest when you know your own way may not be right but you have no doubt that someone else’s is wrong!

It is difficult to understand differing views. It is easier to become condescending. To write differing views off. That’s where we are in history. Where our own views are a reinforced through news feeds and social media and others views are presented as toxic. This won’t last forever. It can’t.

Such important observations, Bob. It is increasingly difficult to find common ground. Although it’s not easy to listen deeply to others who hold vastly different views and see our shared humanity, our survival depends on our willingness to at least try. It won’t work with everyone, but like you, I believe it’s possible and worth the effort.

Thank you for sharing!!.. life is not easy with all its challenges and may have to make some minor adjustments from time to time but the only way I will find happiness is to be me with an open mind and heart… “It is not easy to find happiness within ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.” (Agnes Repplier )… 🙂
Until we meet again..
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
(Irish Saying)
