Coming Together On All Fronts

From the projected view of what a Hillary America would be, in my collective thoughts that occurred election day of 2016, if that was to happen in the future took me into a lot of considerable thought and value of what our nation would look as to come over the preceding years if Hillary was in office. Though it hasn't affected me so much in the sense of being a woman, but in some cases with racial tension, being white I have been affected in ways. Thinking with a fair mind, due to the depth of hurt and unaddressed problems in the past of American history and life in today's outcome of people being effected by so much of nothing being completely directed in addressing the fault of whose responsible and genuine rehabilitation of forgiveness, asking for forgiveness, and trying to listen and change for the positive {which shows you value the people who have been hurt and those who feel affected} the issue is where I saw today in the direction of the future, people matter. Just in general, all people matter. It is important like a relationship to listen and pay attention to where the problems are.. And directly take action to fix, help, and heal/pray asking God to do it along with you as you proceed in the relationship. With the change in society today, just from when I graduated high school almost four years ago, life has drastically changed in ways that have been crazy and some ways that are good. The good is that people are being able to feel like they can outwardly express and put forth their thoughts to the extent of where the world used to be. But the bad is, to put it in part perspective (in places where some people feel it) a pressure. It didn't feel like that at first, but over time in the past few years in people's responses towards and to others who aren't "norm minorities", taking the country forward without including them is just as bad as when someone tries to lead a relationship without having any regard for the other (even if the other might have done them wrong and took all the spot light). If this were to be a successful nation we would not just strive to be forwardly walking in pursuit of being more like Christ in the nation and going around to the people that need to be helped, heard, and understood with solid good change. We would be listening to keep in effect the rest of the nation’s population who are a part of the country and need to know they still matter and don't have to be ashamed of who they are or what they look like either. That we could work in unity and not in a progression of working without realizing we should honor all types of people. And knowing you can’t honor when tearing down others. I'm not a man, but I don’t want men to feel like they have to apologize to me for being a man in a situation where things can be subjected just because of that fact. I don't think the solution of moving forward in today's world can be found without God first and for most, and I don't think it will be easy for unity to occur without applying the principles of showing that you see the people's problems who have been hurt, that they matter and not leave out the people who aren't in those groups respecting them as individuals too. It's time to move forward and to truly move on out of the name calling, personal attacks and hate rants/ accusations. We can't move forward without God and we can’t move forward without willing to work things out in both sides of the equation.
