When I read the news or look at social media, I see a lot of very strong opinions that don't necessarily match mine.  And that's okay - in order to have an opinion, one should look at both sides of the issue.  So I remain friends with conservatives and liberals alike, knowing that they probably fume at some of the drivel I put out there too.

Here's my view on life, religion, politics, and everything else.  Unconditional.

For religion, it's unconditional love, the way Jesus taught.  I don't put conditions on your sexual orientation, your gender orientation, the color of your skin, how much money you make, where you live, or even your species.  If God created it, it is good.  Other than maybe the Unitarian Universalist church, I don't think a church exists that doesn't have conditions on acceptance.  So I don't belong to a church, because giving a church money that preaches against so-called sins like homosexuality is repugnant to me.

For politics, it's unconditional acceptance.  If the candidate I didn't vote for is in office, I'm not going to post negative memes about their nationality, their religion, or their record.  If they do good, however, you'll see that from me.  

And for everything else, it's unconditional surrender.  Surrender to what is, and not what you wish it would be.  Strive to make everything better, but don't spend your life thinking about what was or might have been if only.

Now for my opinion.  

There is WAY too much on social media and the news about stupid stuff like Kim Davis and not enough about the plight of the Syrian refugees, or the American education system, or poverty solutions.  

Now, if you don't like cats I may have to unfriend you.
