I observe so many people using their words like weapons, and their tongues as a machete on social media platforms.
Where does all of this anger stir from? It’s deeply toxic, and diffused daily can be as toxic as the air we are now breathing. Ongoing toxic thoughts and words promotes inflammation on a cellular level and affects our wellness.
How is this productive? The demeaning of another’s character, the use of name-calling, and a “tit for tat“ mindset that goes on, and on, as I scroll down the page in disbelief, where adults are decimating each other in this way is disheartening.
And our children and grandchildren are watching and listening. Trust me, you may not think they are, but they hear and see everything that we do. Is this the example we want to set?
I ask that you think about your words before you post. Breathe and speak as you want to be spoken to.
So many are now posting anonymously hiding behind their computer. I’m actually observing a bully mindset and bullying tactics.
There are conspiracy theories now about the air quality due to the Canadian fires. I do not agree with these theories, but I am certainly not going to demean and degrade people whose belief system is different than mine.
You have a choice to scroll right on by. You have a choice to implement self regulation and self control. You have a choice to tell yourself in your own space in the privacy of your home whatever you want to about the posts that you are reading by other people. Not everything has to be an invitation for combat. How is it productive to get into a back-and-forth mud slinging with people in our own community? We are all suffering. Isn’t this the time to support each other? To BE a community?!
Love is the absence of judgment. If we are standing in judgment of other people and publicly ridiculing them because of their beliefs, we are lacking empathy and respect.
I want to live in a world where others accept me for my beliefs and values, even if they do not agree with me. My beliefs and my values doesn’t make me right or wrong. It is however my choice to be honest and humble in my delivery.
Can’t we just agree to disagree and move forward?
Let’s remember all of our blessings and speak with eloquence and gratitude. Our global community has endured so much over the past few years, and now we are faced with another major challenge. I pray that we all take a deep breath, and realize that we are all on the same team. 
Yes, there is work to be done, and from where I’m standing, Its A Wonderful Life. It’s about mindset, perspective and empathy.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
