It’s time to stop! What if, for one day, everyone stopped: protesting, counterprotesting, yelling, brainwashing, hating, lying, hurting, abusing, berating and trying to prove the other side wrong? What if, for one day, everyone spent that time helping those who truly need help, smiling at others, being an encouragement, being quiet? No politics or religion. No winners or losers. No polarizing or dividing.
This world has somehow managed to not need our opinions for thousands of years. If you do not want to risk death, maiming or arrest, just stop. Too often leaders have given every single point of view its 15 minutes. Now everyone has jumped on their favorite bandwagon. They consider it their duty to shout it from the rooftops. It’s gone too far.
A politician says something and millions don’t like it and feel they must speak/march/protest against it. Then millions don’t like that so they must speak/march/protest against it. Then millions don’t like any of it and you get the point. It’s a certainty people standing against each other is bound to lead to bad, as civility has all but disappeared in our society. Just for one day, actually do something that might make a positive difference.
