Now Is The Time To Come Together

Love Trumps Hate.

Now Is The Time To Come Together
Conservative Post

Well the election is over and social media is blowing up with rants about who won and who lost. As seen on CNN women and men of all races are rioting, and many are fighting and beating each other over an election. Some Americans are blaming Trump for the dividing of this country. However, the reality is there has always been racism, sexism and discrimination. The world was broken before Trump came along.

Violence is not the answer to our problems. We are breaking each other down because of politics. Now isn't the time for violence. Now is the time for unity. One of the reasons that people didn't like Trump was because of his treatment of others. How are we any better if we start rioting?

On our currency it is printed "In God we trust." God says in Mark 12:31 "treat your neighbor as yourself." We are supposed to treat others the way we want to be treated. We shouldn't be tearing fellow Americans down! Instead, we should be building them up and coming together as a country to enact positive change. President Obama and Hilary Clinton both have showed support for Trump. Clinton posted on her Facebook "Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans." And Obama said after a meeting with Trump that he "wanted Trump to succeed and would do everything he could to ensure a smooth transition."

If the same politicians who were fighting just a week ago are coming together ... why can't we? The truth is, violence doesn't lead to change. Violence will only lead to the destruction of this country. Love trumps hate. Now is the time to come together and work as one country under God and enact the very change we have fought for. This country isn't broken beyond repair. Trump did not break America. However, only we together as one can work towards repairing America.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
