We all get so excited cheering on our candidate in different elections. Then once they get in office "wham" there goes an agenda we didn't really see coming. We had our mind stayed on the one thing they promised they would do once they got in office that we were personally passionate about.
Then once the citizens don't agree with their stance they start screaming "hate". No people aren't really hating. They are really just standing firm on what they believe in.
From my perspective it has a lot to do with generational pain. As I think about what year my great-grandparents were born who were still alive when I was born. The people who had an impact on their lives. They at least knew who their grandparents were. You are looking at a lot of years of living and a lot of years being influenced by how the generations before you lived.
Some change is easy. There will hardly ever be a change that will unilaterally benefit everyone.
This is not a cloned society. We are all unique, we are all different. We have to throw culture, beliefs, traditions, heritages, and a whole lot of other things into the mix for each and every person.
What happened in one household didn't happen in another household. What was tolerated in one household wasn't tolerated in another household. I look even at my grandchildren. One set when they come over my house looks like a tornado happened when they leave. The set that has a habit of spilling their drink all over the place normally always wants something red in color to drink, then I have the set who has a compulsive cleaning disorder and I don't have to spend but a few minutes cleaning if at all once they leave. The latter set be like Grandma Lynne do you want me to clean your house for you if they come over right after the tornado group.
The key thing is I love them all one and the same. I feel my house is there house. I don't exclude one because they go and help themselves to my clothes. They get that from home. I don't exclude another set because they have too much energy and tire me out. I don't exclude the one who jumps on my back playfully I kneel down on the floor to lace up his sneakers.
I don't shun one over the other because the older set likes to take over my laptop and desktop to play some music naming game against each other. They been lost the devices that connect them to the internet what were those things called they at one time all had them now none of them come with them expensive gadgets anymore. The middle set doesn't even need the Internet. The oldest likes writing letters to her friends in MS Word. She can start, set up, write, and design a document better than a paid professional at a very young age. Then there are the two who share. They have to be fussing over the same computer. One is playing games while the other is shouting no don't select that, select that and I offer another device and they both look at me like I have horns on my head. They are used to doing everything together, they are a team. Just ask and they'll they will let you know.
I wish I could write up an affidavit and with one pen stroke it would immediately provide full action these are the rules and this is how things are going to be at Grandma's house. The "G" in grandma would then stand for "get a life" if I think that is going to happen. I can see them laughing hysterically now even it would be under their breath.
Laws can change to be all-inclusive, however, changing the mindset of a nation will not happen as quickly. I think as long as it is viewed at as folks "hating" the change it incites bitterness. Some changes are harder to embrace than others. Acceptance I feel is a better approach. Who is receptive and who is not as receptive because as we have seen with recent laws change has happened. Change is inevitable. I just pray we survive it on the merits on civility.
Now I'm going to get back to cleaning up from the tornado that touched down on my place yesterday.
