Daily writing prompt
What bothers you and why?
People will read something on a blog post or Facebook post and misinterpret the messages. I find this when people are only informed by their narrative and they do not have the desire to learn further about the topic. People are fueled to make the world fit their inner values and beliefs. This may be based on their family dynamics, finances, political leaning, and education.
We were at the Cherry Days. There are many booths to explore. The political booths for the Democrats and The Republicans. My husband and I belong to different political parties. The Democratic party table representative was quite rude to me. My husband introduced me as his Republican wife. I was approached by a radical Republican. His views are radical. Anyone can have RADICAL views regardless of political party or religion. I had an interesting conversation with this man. I asked him, "Why can't we have conversations based on Facts, rather than emotions and misinformation. Why can't we just listen to each other? Perhaps, we all need to learn from each other and try to understand why we think about things the way we do."
