Sometimes I wish I didn't know......

Social media is a great way to connect.....it is a fun place to watch people we would have a hard time seeing often, or checking in, with do life:).....their family pictures on my feed.....getting to see it all.....but it has become a war zone when it comes to politics, and world stage events.....and sometimes I wish I didn't know what people were thinking inside their heart and mind......I will sometimes stumble upon a rant, from a person I care about, and it will make me wince some.....wishing I didn't know.......and I honor the right in us all to state our opinions.....I think we should if we feel called to.....I REALLY do......I support it fully.........as for me I choose not to post anything politically anymore.....I did once upon a time.....thinking that it would matter somehow....but it really doesn't.....it just causes the divide to grow.....and I have always marveled at the way political persuasion comes hardwired I think....in our factory settings....and really I don't think any party is recognizable anymore, extremism taking over, that is just my personal opinion....I don't really identify with a party anyway, and maybe never have......sort of finding my own place to land, based on the way I live my life, and the things I believe about humanity and loving people, and what I honor in this life......and all of the rest.....and as the intensity grows.....especially in light of recent events:(....it is so sad to see people step into the fever pitch and hatred.....spewing stuff back and forth based on the tone that now resides in our country for so many reasons....ones that are simple, ones that are complicated, and ones that are somewhere in between......and when I read those things, again sometimes wishing I didn't know, it feels tiring in my soul.....feeling like it must be tiring for some of those folks to hold that intense emotion within them, ready to unleash it.....and I have seen it on both sides.....I want to make that clear.....this is not about one side.....but I wish I didn't know.....ignorance is bliss is a saying for a reason.....as for me......I will be reserving my personal weigh in on all of it, but suffice to say my goal each day is to always err on the side of compassion, love, empathy, peace, hope, light, humanity, and all of the rest......and I will never allow what is happening in the world get in and touch that.......I just won't.........I worked too hard, and it is too important a gift to hang onto. I am hoping that somehow the divide closes.....our humanity having its say.....peace and love of one another ruling the day, and that the world my children live in one day is a better one then what I see now.....Amen....
