Why Are We Wrong For Our Views And Beliefs

I am just a tad confused

Why Are We Wrong For Our Views And Beliefs

I understand that everyone is going to have different views and that everyone deals with something different. What I don't understand is why everyone can't grasp that 17-word sentence and accept it.

We were all raised in a different home which means we all have our different ways of doing things, understanding things and that also includes the views we have and stand behind. Yes, we are all different we clean differently than everyone else, we cook some dishes differently, we do laundry differently, we don't eat certain foods, we have different household rules, we put our dishes away in the cabinet differently, literally everything we do is different opposed to someone else. With that being said why can't we all understand that we have different lives, political views, we have different things we go through to give us reasons to stand behind those different things and why can't we respect someone else's opinion knowing those things influence their views? Why do we get hate when we publicize our opinions that are different from someone else's, why am I told I am wrong or stupid for believing in the things that I do?

Yes some of us do not like who is now our President but some of us also did not like the other candidate and then some of us didn't like either candidate, yet people still are getting judged, hated against, being told they're wrong and so forth. How is this fair? Just because you don't believe in the marches that happened the protests that happened doesn't mean you can't give them props for actually caring about the things that they do because what if roles were reversed and you were the one being targeted? You probably wouldn't like it. Why can't we all just respect the fact that there is always going to be someone who doesn't agree with you and see things the way you do. Why do we tell children to be different and stand out when they are younger and growing up to turn around and tell them they're wrong for being different in their futures.

I guess I will never understand why can't we all just give it up already and know that this diverse, great, free country we live in has different opinions, views, and people making it go around.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
