Life is what you make it
If you want life to be bad. It will be bad.
If you want life to be good. It will be good.

Some people do not like happiness. I went through that many years ago. I came to a point where I believed every situation was always someone else's fault. It took a few years to realize that we all have faults. Present company included. Life is so much easier when you accept people for what they are.
Not who they claim to be. Really, there are no democrats, republicans, nazi's, religious people, old people, young people, unsuccessful people, sucessful people, homeless people. There are only People. People with decorations like the before described. While we might sometimes disagree with what a person chooses to decorate themselves with...they might call themselves a republican or democrat....we must strive to respect the person. Respect is what gives us our humanity. It is easy to disrespect someone out of fear. Because we fear them. A person might get easily upset with the gay community because he or she see's that community as a threat to his or her moral/religious/cultural beliefs. Instead of slandering this community and wasting your precious time, why not get to know them? Be honest with them about your fears. Help them to see how you understand the the world. Chances are great that you will find that you have much in common with them. You may simply just disagree. The point is that you should always respect someone enough to get to know them before you slander them. To do otherwise is simply detrimental...first to yourself and second to society at large.
When society polarizes itself to the point where different groups no longer speak to each other then society has some very dangerous issues. Picture a family in which the parents no longer talk to each other and the children take sides. Is this a peaceful healthy family? Imagine a nation where people no longer talk to each other. A nation where people pick sides only to slander another group of people. Is this a healthy nation? Would physical violence fix the family? No. How much more damaging is it then on a national scale?
Choose peace in all its actions. Make peace with your neighbor. Make peace with your co-worker. Make peace with the homeless man. Make peace with your family.
We are all dots on a small blue marble in the vast darkness of the galaxy. We have better things to do then make war with each other either verbally or physically.

Appreciating Life = Love
