In today’s world opinions are not what they used to be.

It seems as if the conversations that are taking place right now are all about being right, and not, what should be, about understanding one another.

No one is listening anymore.

People aren’t able to speak their mind or present their point of view without being instantly cut off, with every word they use being knit-picked and automatically spun in a negative way.

Yes there is a difference between being ignorant and having an educated opinion, but how can anyone learn or grow in the unforgiving society that has been created today?

People should definitely be held accountable for their actions but nobody should have to suffer from abuse.

Are we lacking sympathy and/or empathy for one another?

We should be educating and informing each other, instead of judging one another.

Conversations should be bringing people closer together not tearing people apart, or tearing people down, and in turn becoming counterproductive.

We should be able to be united despite having our differences.

Be open.

Be respectful.

Educate yourself.

Your point of view isn’t the only point of view.

Your opinion isn’t the only one that matters.
