Everyone has their own views and opinions. I know I do. Understanding those differences comes from having conversations and establishing dialogue. In every family, there will be disagreements even among people who you love. I am a very black or white sort of person.
I do know I need to be more grayscale because that is where others are. You can appreciate others in the gray but it’s harder when it’s an either-or situation. Everything from politics to religion to sports to science fiction is deeply personal and moderating that passion can be good for everyone.
I need to work on this stuff. Life could be better if I do. Work requires being uncomfortable and a little conflict. Let’s see what happens.
This is something I must remember and strive for. It won’t be easy.

I know Tony. I’m with you on this one. I live surrounded by people with strong opinions and guns. It gets a little scary sometimes. I have to remind myself “we are one” even when it doesn’t seem like it. Hang in there friend.

It never is, Tony. It is hard to understand how anyone, especially anyone very close to us, can have opposing views to things that we feel strongly about.

It’s tough to accept some views. I would never bother to argue about sport, as it’s just opinion. Politics I find slightly harder not to argue about. Moral values? That’s when it gets tricky. I do have lines I don’t like to see crossed. The question then, is do I have the right to impose them on other people?

I’m with you, friend. I am very black and white and have a hard time seeing the gray scales. But I try hard to remember that the same way my views are right for me, others’ are for them, and mine are wrong from where they are standing. And that, as long as they’re not harming others, it’s none of my business what they do or believe. Not an easy pill to swallow, but swallow it we must.
