BUT
The story going on involving the southern border has interested me. Not because of the politics involved directly, but the reactions I've heard through the grapevine. Seems many people post on sical media random memes or pics about what Obama did or some other nonsense, none of which I see because I've blocked or de-friended most close-minded, racist, homophobe, control freak, ignorant, conservatives... no offense.
On Wednesday or Thursday I posted something this:
Wanted to offer a thought I had after hearing how many people are posting about the border issue and children being separated.
Regardless of politics or law, I hope people take a few moments from time to time and see these issues as they are or what they completely involve.Pretty good chance if you’re reading this, you already won a type of “lottery,” being born in this country. And because of that we assume the system and concepts around it, that we inherited, are right and true (not saying they’re not, just laying a foundation).
But now flip it around... let’s say you didn’t “win the lottery.” Draw any picture you’d like that would motivate you to attempt breaking a known law to help better your family.
That’s all.
This isn’t a political post, it’s a human post. Any one of us could have been born anywhere else with those exact same circumstances. We can’t say “if I was him/her/them/whatever, then I’d do _________,” because you wouldn’t be... you’d still be that same person in those circumstances because you’d only know that life. You wouldn’t have the convenience of this perspective you now have.But now flip it around... let’s say you didn’t “win the lottery.” Draw any picture you’d like that would motivate you to attempt breaking a known law to help better your family.

Really hope I wrote this accurately...a little trick to put it into written word.
With this pic:
This is how I feel.
So when I'm in a conversation and people tell me about so and so and person x posting about this in a Pro-Trump manner, I think 2 things. 1) wtf does trump have to do with this and 2) Thank you. Thank you for letting us all know what a dumb shit you really are. Thank you for peeling back the fake mask you wear wherever you go and letting us all know you are completely incapable of an actual original thought or human emotion.
And I completely understand that for the sake of debate, there are many layers to this, but this really isnt a debate. If you actually have to debate right vs wrong.. Thank you. Thank you for letting me know in advance that you can never come to my house. Because I cannot have dumb people that have to debate basic human rights and right vs wrong near my kids, near my wife, near my dogs, near my fish, near my vibe, near my anything, or exhaling your negative bullshit energy into my air. It's a very honest thank you. I'm sorry if "dumb," seems too harsh but it is 2018, so... ignorance at this point is a choice and if you choose ignorance, it is what it is.
Thank you letting us know you have no empathy... despite the religion you preach. How ironic is that?
Thank you for letting us know you have no sympathy. If desperate strangers in need of help can't count on you, someone supposedly raised "better," and "with more," and "higher education," on and on, no one can actually count you for anything worth a shit because you have failed.
When they post some nonsense about "Well Obama did it too..." huh? Ok? I guess I'm sorry I didnt see it in the news when it happened.. whats the point?? We know now and see now. That's the same dumbass logic like "Well this is what we've always done so...." so continue losing? Continue being an ignorant piece of shit?
Orrrrr could we possibly learn from mistakes?
Noooo that would be as insane as debating an amendment that was written 200+ years ago back when it took 90 seconds to reload one bullet (whoops).
But it's all good... I'm on my wave, you ride yours. I love my tribe and the people near me with that good energy, with the love and optimism, empathy and kindness, you go be you. You sit there and I'll sit here and I'm good with it. And when you need something, I'll still be here because I'm not you. I think my mom everyday for the kindness she helped install into my heart so I recognize via instinct and ask "whats the best thing?" Not right vs wrong, but what is best? Like that pic above, I practice patience (as hard as it gets) and love and care for people because I understand the root of empathy (cant say that word enough). I understand and accept that this life is so short and anything could have happened to anyone of us.
So when you say"Thank you, for coming off like a liberal hippy big mouth," I'll smile and say "You're welcome,"
I could've been born in Mexico and that easily could've been me and my kids trying to cross an imaginary man made line in the dirt separating human from human... and you could be a person that practices love and compassion and find a way to offer help.... you could now, but you choose not to.
So thank you for showing us who you are. I hope you find a way to change, for the sake of all of our kids. I couldn't mean this any more sincere.
Our culture, our society has to change. We have to improve. We have to grow and be better.
So when you say"Thank you, for coming off like a liberal hippy big mouth," I'll smile and say "You're welcome,"
