It saddens me that people do not understand the true meaning of Love and acceptance. Why is it that we think that we have to conform to political correctness to get along with our fellow man? Why can we not see that we are all here to love one another and if we do that, then we would not have to worry about hurting someones feelings. I judge a person on their character. Not their race, religion, looks or how much money they make. Just who they are in general. If you treat me with love and respect I will return the same to you. If you do not treat me with love and respect, I will say God Bless. I will still love you as the spirit you are, but I do not have to like the person you are.
As I sit here in tears over this matter I am ashamed and hurt that I have let someone get to me and to allowed myself to feel anger at this person. I am tired of being told what is politically correct and how to conduct myself. I was brought up to say Merry Christmas and to me that was one of the most wonderful things a person could say to another. It is the one time of year that we as people share love and kindness to one another. I, like alot of people at this time of year have a hard time with depression and if I can see just a glimmer of love towards one another, man kind, It helps to raise my spirits. I do not care if you say Happy Holidays or whatever it is that you feel is the right thing to say. I just want to hear it being said! I do not feel that because I say Merry Christmas that I am insulting a religious group or a race of people. When I say Merry Christmas it is coming from my heart and soul and I feel like I have made a positive connection with a fellow human being. Why do we have to put so much emphasis on what is right or wrong to say in front of others that may not have the same beliefs as ours? I, in my heart feel, that as long as I am saying kind loving words to another, no matter what their beliefs are, that I am treating them as an equal human being. Not someone I have to walk softly around because I may insult them with my kind words. Why do people feel it is necessary to assume that we have to treat others differently? I have many kind loving friends from all over the world. Different shapes, religions, races etc. I do not see my friends as anything more or less than just what they are. My friends. I have so much love in my heart to give and I want to give it. I do not need to be told how I am supposed to greet another or how I should act. That is the problem right there. Act. If I am acting I am not being true to myself or others. I have decided not to act, I will just be me and be proud of who I am and what I stand for. I may not be perfect and I do not strive to be. I want to love and to be loved just like everyone else. I should not feel like I have to be afraid to speak my true thoughts in my own words. I am a human, not a robot. Since I have free will over my live. I forgive myself for allowing me to get angry. I am in charge of my destiny and I will live the life I choose and do the best I can for myself and my fellow man. Love to all. Merry Christmas!
