We’re In This Together

Seeing a lot of political posts online lately. Sometimes President Trump does something good, sometimes he does not. Some love him, some hate him. I believe all of our presidents deserve respect for the title they have as president but neither he, nor any other political person or stance, should cause us to burn bridges and end relationships. We should be a team during this pandemic, not enemies.

I was listening to YouTube Music yesterday and heard “When You Love Someone” by Bryan Adams. As it started playing, I realized that some of the lines it uses to describe how someone acts out of love, are also used sometimes as how we sometimes act in hate or dislike.

Lines like…

“When you love someone
You’ll do anything
You’ll do all the crazy things
That you can’t explain
You’ll shoot the moon
Put out the sun
When you love someone
You’ll deny the truth
Believe a lie”

Or…

“You’ll feel it deep inside
And nothin’ else
Could ever change your mind”

And…

“You’ll sacrifice
Give it everything you got
And you won’t think twice
You’d risk it all
No matter what may come”

Sometimes when we feel strongly about something, we forget to be compassionate, kind, loving, and understanding. We forget to listen.

Just my 2 cents 🤷
