I have a twitter account. I read a very rude response from someone on a very famous country western singers post. I was not only saddened, but also shocked that someone would judge others instead of learn from them. Although we won’t all agree with one another’s thoughts and/or actions, we can always learn something from our differences.

No one is ever going to have the same thoughts regarding anything, believe that! Our brains process information differently. No one is raised the same with the same thought process regarding what life hands us. As we grow older, we change how we think about life from what we were taught because we are allowed to be who we want to be. We all may agree with one another, to an extent, but we will never think the exact same thing about anything. This is why we are all individualists and unique. We ALL are amazing individuals in our own individualistic way.

Yes, we all have that “first reaction,” but why do we have to voice rudeness instead of trying to understand the other’s point of view. No…I do not always understand or agree with someone’s point of view, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care for them or want to understand them. Sometimes I am never going to agree with what someone believes in, but these are great opportunities to open our mind and learn different points of views, which is not an easy task and are challenges we will forever face.

Yes, we are allowed to express our opinions, but please do it with respect to others. We don’t have to make rude comments or say, what we think is the only way to think. Writing something rude on one’s facebook, blog, twitter, or any other social media page is unnecessary. We do have freedom of speech, but let’s do it with respect.

So, back to the Twitter post I read…..instead of telling this person (doesn’t matter if they are famous or not) that they are ignorant, maybe they could respect the post and possibly say why they agree to disagree with a reason why. There is no reason to bash an individual for his/her beliefs.

We cannot always have someone understand our reasonings and/or thoughts pertaining to certain life challenges, but we can be kind to one another regardless of our beliefs. It takes a hero to learn from others, you don’t have to agree with what they believe, but as stated earlier in this post, you can take something away from what someone believes in and walk away a hero respecting others rather than be rude.
