Why Are We Wrong For Our Views And Beliefs

I am just a tad confused

Why Are We Wrong For Our Views And Beliefs

I understand that everyone is going to have different views and that everyone deals with something different. What I don't understand is why everyone can't grasp that 17-word sentence and accept it.

We were all raised in a different home which means we all have our different ways of doing things, understanding things and that also includes the views we have and stand behind. Yes, we are all different we clean differently than everyone else, we cook some dishes differently, we do laundry differently, we don't eat certain foods, we have different household rules, we put our dishes away in the cabinet differently, literally everything we do is different opposed to someone else. With that being said why can't we all understand that we have different lives, political views, we have different things we go through to give us reasons to stand behind those different things and why can't we respect someone else's opinion knowing those things influence their views? Why do we get hate when we publicize our opinions that are different from someone else's, why am I told I am wrong or stupid for believing in the things that I do?

Yes some of us do not like who is now our President but some of us also did not like the other candidate and then some of us didn't like either candidate, yet people still are getting judged, hated against, being told they're wrong and so forth. How is this fair? Just because you don't believe in the marches that happened the protests that happened doesn't mean you can't give them props for actually caring about the things that they do because what if roles were reversed and you were the one being targeted? You probably wouldn't like it. Why can't we all just respect the fact that there is always going to be someone who doesn't agree with you and see things the way you do. Why do we tell children to be different and stand out when they are younger and growing up to turn around and tell them they're wrong for being different in their futures.

I guess I will never understand why can't we all just give it up already and know that this diverse, great, free country we live in has different opinions, views, and people making it go around.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
