Amicable
Are you tired of the division?
This post is very important.
While it is not directly related to health and wellness, it is what has been considered in the past to be common sense. Hopefully common sense is not something we left in the past long ago.
Common Sense needs thought, logic and transparency.
Common Sense can be different for each person dependent upon their life experiences as what may be common sense to you may not be to others.
Respect each other’s views even if you disagree.
Common Sense does not need peer pressure.
Common Sense does not need coercion.
Common Sense does not need bullying.
Common Sense does not need threats.
Common Sense does not need force.
Common Sense does not need ultimatums.
Let’s work with what we agree on.
Let’s amicably disagree on everything else.
Amicable is a key word.
am•i•ca•ble ăm′ĭ-kə-bəl►
adj: Characterized by or exhibiting friendliness or goodwill; friendly.
adj: Characterized by or exhibiting friendliness, peaceableness, or harmony; friendly; peaceable; harmonious in social or other relations.
adj: Friendly; proceeding from, or exhibiting, friendliness; after the manner of friends; peaceable
Look at the bolded words above.
Have those words been lost in society today?
What happened to friendly disagreements?
What happened to neighbors taking different sides of an issue and still being friends?
What happened to family sticking together regardless of their different viewpoints?
Have we all been conditioned by politics and media to take our disagreements to a different level where we can no longer get along?
Are we all being played?
Someone or someones have decided to sow division amongst us for their own gain.
That someone’s smiling right now and taking advantage of the divisiveness for their own greed or power play.
Those someones have somehow convinced many people to give up their freedoms and liberties by instilling fear, picking a side and then mandating it on others.
That is not common sense.
That is peer pressure, coercion, bullying, threats, force and ultimatums.
How long ago was it that our public schools started a campaign against bullying? We all supported that campaign.
Now we are all getting bullied to take part in a public health experiment of medical treatments that once you take it, it can not be removed or reversed. Young adults are being sent home from college. Adults are losing their jobs. Some judges are taking away parental rights if a parent does not take part. Some judges are not allowing unvaxxed to be jurors.
Do what we say to your body OR ELSE.
Is this the type of society you wish to live in?
Does the government, media, Big Pharma and Big Tech know better about how you choose to live your life safely than you?
Trust is so very important in life.
I have never gotten along with liars and manipulators.
Be truthful.
Be transparent.
You will earn my respect even if I hold different viewpoints.
We can work together even if we disagree.
We can be friends even if we are on different sides of a debate.
We can yell and scream during the debate, then we can shake hands, hug and be even closer friends.
It’s time to end this psychological operation or psyop that is being deployed on us.
If you have a friend or family member who you have ghosted or removed from your circle due to differences of opinion on COVID, call them.
Tell them they mean more to you than COVID.
Tell them while you may have a different viewpoint that you still respect them, they are important to you and want them to remain a part of your circle.
Don’t let politics, religion or any other social issue tear you away from those who you have been close to. That is what that someone or someones that want us all divided are hoping for.
Divide and conquer.
Don’t let them have that.
Don’t let them get away with it.
As far as COVID goes:
Be respectful of others who have different views.
Do NOT look to cancel them out of your life or out of society.
We should not let COVID divide us.
COVID should unite us.
Don’t coerce your friend, family, neighbor or coworker.
Don’t fear your friend, family, neighbor or coworker.
Don’t bully your friend, family, neighbor or coworker.
Don’t threaten your friend, family, neighbor or coworker.
Respect their right to have views different than yours. Whether you agree or disagree with those views, try and understand why they hold those views and they should do the same.
Stop allowing those someones to sow division.
Use your common sense.
Be amicable once again.
Last night my daughter wanted to make a chicken stir fry. She asked for my help and since I enjoy cooking I helped. We went sort of by a recipe she found. I let her pick the recipe, spices and sauce. She also portioned out the ingredients. As you may know I am more of a Carnivore so in a stir-fry I prefer a high meat to veggie ratio.
How do you think she did on the meat to veggie ratio?
BTW: It was very good!!!
Recipe could be available upon request…………..
Comments always welcome whether you agree or disagree.
Just be Amicable!
Your recent posts have hit home hard. Almost all of my family relatives on both sides have ghosted my family...friends down to a limited few. The first thing I did was try to send or communicate a positive card, gift, note, phone call etc...I think it made it worse.
Thanks for not making me feel like a freak! "Divide and Conquer" has reached an all time high. But when you meet or talk to someone of the same mind you really cherish that conversation! Sincerely Pat Obetz
The thing about the stir fry actually made for a nice literary device. Carnivorists and vegetable-sympathizers cooking side by side.
Personally I do value genuine friends and family more than politics and media hype (which is easy because I assign zero value to either of the latter). I just value my own liberty and sovereignty more than I value weak-minded individuals who would thoughtlessly sell someone out to the govt at the drop of a hat.
The first week of this nightmare immediately showed us where other peoples priorities truly were, since many of they never gave a damn about health until then, it was that old 9/11 media-induced reaction all over again, except this time the phony patriotism was substituted out for phony health-consciousness. And when you're legitimately chronically ill, that behavior gets grating very quickly.
Add to this how their first thought was to reach for govt-as-a-solution and shield grandma at all costs, and it was easy enough to know who to avoid for the rest of my life. That's self preservation at an acceptable loss, with plenty of loved ones who actually value individual freedom left over at the end of the day.
If nothing else it was a year to find a new crowd, and a lot of folks who got out to protest did just that. The willful lemmings are gonna head off the cliff. We can still be nice to them but if they're not someone who's willing to respectfully consider ideas..well, there's better quality humans out there to expend that energy on too.
