As we come to the end of this contentious election cycle remember to listen with both ears because there is truth within the rhetoric regardless of how deep our prejudices lie. And they are prejudices let’s not lie to ourselves. When we formulate opinions we substantiate them with examples that reinforce those beliefs even if they are farfetched. We often make decisions based on emotions and justify them with logic but sometimes our logic is well faulty. So the next time someone has an opinion different than yours instead of cutting them off or unfriending them try seeing where their view has some merit and then blend it in with your own view of the world it might just make the mixture a slightly different color and taste. The first amendment allows us free speech and no one should be called an expletive just because their view of the world doesn’t coincide with yours no matter how apparently clear it is to you. And relax it’ll all be over soon.
