I Idea She Was Wrong, Till I Reframed Her Suggestions
If you don’t have a totally free Medium membership, go here to review this story.
Nearly 5 years ago, in the midst of a highly charged political environment, my Mama offered me sensible guidance that influenced an article I have actually turned to loads of times while looking for solace from the strain that today’s political tensions have put on a few of my closest friendships.
“Do not lose your good friends over national politics ,” Mama claimed. I desire I can ask her if she still feels similarly.
Mom passed six months earlier, but also at her funeral, the tension was apparent amongst those whose national politics varied. And while her advice still supplants the ears that bookmark my head, the ears of my heart are loudly whispering a various song.
Her recommendations from the beyond has influenced this upgrade to the initial story.
I won’t call names, and I won’t take sides. That would only include in the angst we’re all sensation in this ball of complication in which we live. I’m not below to persuade you of anything.
However I hope my words influence you to stop, capture your breath, quit assaulting those that disagree with you, and STFU long enough to pay attention to their side of the tale.
