I liked your comment in the audio about how our politics doesn't make us good people.
Our immediate family is mostly aligned politically so no anticipated problems over the holidays. But I think it is a terrible shame for friends or family members to cut ties from one another due to politics. We need to strengthen bonds, not break them. In times of crisis (real crisis - not manufactured crisis) we must stick together. We must love one another, no matter who you've voted for. It's what God has urged us to do. It's the only way to live life in peace, without rancor. Resentment eats away at both parties.
It's so true. A lot of people seem to believe they are virtuous because of their political beliefs. I find it so ridiculous. And yes, resentment is toxic!
I have a suggestion when talking about people within a specific age cohort, why can’t we simply say , people between the ages of X and Y . Why this Gen X, Y,Z, millennials etc. I know I can’t keep that straight and I’ve talked to others who can’t. Yesterday I saw an article when the author referred to Gen a or something like that , I gather because we’ve gone past X. I’m not trying to pick on anyone but this is all rather silly and it’s not remotely illuminating! What is the problem with saying people between the ages of 20 and 40 or people born between 1980 and 2000 instead of forcing people to memorize a series of buzz names.
Good audio piece. Yeah, I consider myself fortunate that I come from an extended family that I know were roughly 50-50 on the entire Harris-Trump thing, but so far, so good. We'll all be together for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and while politics or something related will inevitably come up, I don't foresee anyone storming out or cutting anyone from their lives because of it. There are quite a few more important things in life than politics, like relationships, personal growth and improvement, and health. And that's just the tip of a larger iceberg.
I was born in 1967… Gen X speaks their mind. No filter! Gen X forever.
