It is so sad to watch friends turn on each other.

Just because we have different opinions doesn't mean that we need to approach our differences with sarcasm, bitterness and meanness. The amount of sarcasm I see lately hurts to the core.

This is an awful time for the world as a whole. It's especially awful for those people who have loved ones they're not sure they are ever going to see again.

We come to this place every day, most of us. We come back, even when we've said we never will. There is something here....more than a love of Disney, that draws us here.

I don't know. What I do know is that at times like these, it's more important then ever to hang on to the things we care about, for dear life. This goes for the entire world.

We are all passionate about our beliefs. We are especially passionate when our world is being flipped upside down.

We need to remember who we are speaking to...Not a country, not a government, but a human being who has cares, concerns, loves....just as they always have since we have come to know them. Most people are not that different from one day to the next.

Cherish our friends here. Cherish our time here. Don't get me wrong, many of us do. Don't let our passion in awful times ruin the things we have come to care about so much.

Buckalew posted a story about the care and concern her husband had in a situation he encountered.

I said then that the world would be such a wonderful place if each one of us showed that kind of care and concern for other people, all the time.

Sounds unrealistic?

It starts with me.

It starts with you.
 
{hugs} to you, CRB. :)

Good thoughts, certainly. :)
 
CRB, I agree with everything you said.

Luckily, I avoid all the hostile posts and stick to the fluff.
 
Very , very wise words CBR! Thank you for sharing.

And you are right, it DOES begin with ME. I will try my best to be a good DIS citizen.

Thank you. :)
 

<font color=navy>Hugs, CRB...

I agree with you - everyone here has shown over and over how much good there is. Let it continue :)


BethR - I'm letting you know now that I'm <s>stealing</s> err going to use your statement. I love it. :)
 
Here's a song we sing quite frequently at our house....

I want to be kind to everyone,
For that is right, you see,
So I'll say to myself, remember this,
Kindness begins with me.

I think that it is CaityCaity who has in her siggie "Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me."

Used to sing this song ALL of the time at church back in the 70s. (Those Folk Group years, ya know. :) )

I agree with CaityCaity, that song is very appropriate at this time. :)
 
Too often, real life is full of conflicts and resentment and hostility. I think that the best part of the Community Board is that it doesn't usually mirror real life. I haven't been on this board very long, but it seems to me that most people really try to be kind and welcoming to everyone. Every once in a while, I am struck by the hostility that comes from someone when an innocent question is asked. Maybe those people would be better served on the Debate Board, which I never visit, because at this point in my life, I am trying to surround myself with the positive, plus I have no desire to be mean to strangers.
 
BethR.

That is one of my favorite songs...I love listening to it.

especially like the part that goes "let me live with my brother...in perfect harmony"
 
Great post CBR! You are so right.
