Agree To Disagree

In life disagreements have always been around, so why the frown? We all like what we like and that’s the bottom line. I won’t see life as you do because I am me and you are you. However, what kind of filter do you use before you look? The filter that you use is a determining factor in what you see. I’m not perfect by a long shot, but I try to let optimism be my guide. In a world of negativity it’s so easy to let op- timism fall by the wayside. The old saying is true “ treat others like you want to be treated.“ If someone said they like(or have a nonchalant demeanor )being mistreated or disrespected, I don’t believe you. Because at the core, we all are human beings and we have feelings. If you don’t care now, you used to care, being hurt over and over can cause pain; pain overload turns into numbness. The moment you allow yourself to feel again you will understand. Numbness can “walk around with a I don’t care” attitude. Once your numbness leaves, you will start to feel again. I know from personal experience, I wore my numbness(as a shield of defense) for years and nothing affected me. Later on ,once I dealt with my pain and put aside my shield of defense I started to heal. The world in itself is cruel, and fueled by so much hate. But change starts with you and I, let’s agree to disagree and walk in to love’s wing. Alexis Y. 10/27/2020
