All this hatred is just too much.
Nazi this, and Confederate that. "It's more complicated than you think.", and "Get involved because if you stand idly by, you are just as much to blame as them", are just a couple phrases I've had hurdled at me. I just can't get away from it no matter where I turn! Thanks to malevolent nature of Facebook, I have parted ways with it once again. Though this time is a bit different- I even went so far as to request that my business page be deleted, and took the time to download the photos I hold dear. So long Facebook, your hatred, direct injections of peoples' opinions, and dis-contempt are not going to be missed; I'm serious about not going back. It's time I get back to the personal touch, to bring one on one interaction back from the brink of extinction- I mean talking on the phone, sending cards, being human, not digital.
I am not a Nazi, I am not part of the Antifa. I want nothing to do with either; both of these groups are fueled by hate. I WILL sit on the fence and watch it unfold. Why? Because I am a bystander, I can see both sides perfectly fine from right here. I'm not a world changer and that is okay because it is not a crime, and I will not be led to believe otherwise. I am an American and I may have more privileges than others but it has nothing to do with the color of my skin. My privilege comes from my hard work, my ability to adapt, and my open mind. I am neither naive nor ignorant, I do read about what is going on, and I do realize that I will face opposition in my beliefs. That's okay! We are human, and in that we are individuals. I do not have to have the same view as you, or you as me! That's what makes it all so beautiful! Embrace your individuality.
