I am so disheartened this past few months, mostly it's due to the American Election.
The negativity, the threats, the bitchiness, the rhetoric and the out and out meanness. Most of that from the candidates themselves; however if you happen to have an opinion on either candidate you open yourself up to a slew of negative threatening comments.
The comments are from your so called friends. The people you profess to know and can't live without. The family of social media you've surrounded yourself with. People in your own blood family, people in your heart family.
At this point I don't think it matters who wins as I feel we've all already lost. You the people (yeah you Americans) have, as my Granny would say made your beds. I honestly pity you.
Either candidate or Party is moot at this point, it's not the destination it's the journey. Your journey up to this election has been fraught with pot holes and instead of properly fixing them you put up some bumpy road signs and moved right on up the road.
So Peace in 2016? I hardly think so, we've got to wash this road grime and snake oil off of ourselves.
Going to take my negative thoughts out for a walk, blow some air through that stink.
Be nice.
It's been vile. we're in Scotland and even here the nasty poison has started a few family fights with people reading THIS about her or THAT about him.
ReplyDeletePolitics is depressing in the UK too... :\ So... we keep hoping for peace... and we keep keeping on!
Sincere peaceful wishes to you
Yes, it's been awful. And depressing. And full of snakes. Yes. All of that.
ReplyDeleteYet we still must speak for peace. I'm glad you're among the peace bloggers, Louie.
Here's to better and more peaceful days ahead.
