I Believe

Have you ever logged onto Facebook or Twitter and been bombarded with tons of people spewing their negative opinions over an issue, whether it's big or small? You know what I mean, something like, "If you're for gun control then you and I can't be friends." It baffles me that people think that their opinions are gospel or that they think that someone having a different opinion than them constitutes losing a friendship. And speaking for myself, seeing someone write something like that doesn't make me want to change my opinion or fight to keep their friendship anyway. In my opinion, that's not classy.

The thing is, I think that people take that, "What's on your mind?" question that Facebook asks you every time that you log on and they forget to use their own mental filter. The purpose of social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter is not to air your dirty laundry or start drama based on controversial opinions. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for expressing your opinion, if it's in a classy way. For example, let's refer back to the gun control issue, if you MUST express your opinion on it via tweet or status, then say it nicely, like, "Our country's issues with gun control upset me." It isn't as angry, you still look classy, your opinion gets shared and, for what it's worth, you keep my respect.

Now I was always told never to talk about religion or politics because everyone's opinions are private and they shouldn't feel the pressure to talk to me about anything controversial. I completely agree with that. I like to keep my thoughts on those subjects personal as well.  Plus, I'm not looking for a fight. So even though I used gun control as an example (because my Facebook wall was CONSTANTLY filled with people complaining about it) I will not be sharing my opinions or beliefs on the matter or any other political and/or religious views.

But in an effort to lighten up this post, I'm going to tell you about some POSITIVE things that I do believe in! Enjoy and thank you all for reading!
