PA-PLAYA But I will add that ever since I opted out of those toxic discussions - I’ve stopped hating people here just because I don’t agree with them about everything.
Bottle that up and give it away for free. This country could benefit from a pandemic of that sentiment.
It wasn't until I trained to become a conflict resolution mediator that I learned to embrace neutrality and truly cut everyone some slack. People's beliefs and sense of right, wrong and "normal" results from a lifetime of learning experiences, failures, successes, parenting, significant emotional events, etc. We really can't help who we are and what we value. I try hard to just get along. SWMBO still struggles with negative feelings about people who embrace radical beliefs.
