Why don’t we act like neighbors now?

November 7, 2018

“I noticed people were getting emotional and name calling instead of having conversations on social media. Some were calling me things that weren’t true. We are a community and in a couple of weeks we will have this behind us. Why don’t we act like neighbors now? Every morning, my wife and I go to the Warehouse Bakery and have coffee and a croissant. I invite people to meet me there and talk. A few people have taken me up on it. We don’t often agree, but it has been nice. The South is different than the rest of the country, and I have lived in the rest of the country. I came here for a reason. I don’t want to lose the neighborliness. Sometimes we have to back up and not get so wound up. We live in the same community and I hope tomorrow we will be friends again and can move forward. If it’s not okay, in two years we can change it again. We have to survive this. We have lost civility as a country.

Baskin Robbins has 70 flavors of ice cream and in America we only have two political choices. You can’t get two people in a room to agree on everything. There is no way we fall into two parties. Everyone is starting to realize our political system is broken and getting more and more frustrated. There is nothing we can do about it and start screaming at each other that it is your fault. Both sides of the aisle are yelling each other and calling each other evil. We need a way to bridge the gap. I still believe in the goodness of human beings.”

    I agree! People need to respect each other’s opinions.
