I was thrilled on Sunday, Mother’s Day as I surfed social media of how it was filled with such wonderful posts about Mom’s and how they impacted almost every post. It warmed my heart and gave me such a feeling of relief that no one was slamming the president or his administration with memes. No smirky stuff about bad drivers or people of Walmart.
It was so refreshing!
It lasted until about 5:00 pm when two particularly left-leaning friends of mine began their Trump Bashing. Not that I’m a Trump supporter. I lean neither left nor right. I am happily planted in the “middle” politically speaking. It was so nice to just enjoy social media for a day about some good stuff, Mom’s and how they impacted the lives of those around them. I dare say those positive stories impacted me more than all of the crappy, mean or snarky posts shared with the intent to expose or change my mind about politics, religion or whatever.
Today I dare you not to post something questionable without being sure this is the truth or just a portion of the truth. We are so concerned by bullying- yet some of the things we post as funny really do border on the edge of bullying. I appreciate sarcasm as much if not more than anyone, but is it really serving a higher good to post it? In this instant digital age, it is OUR challenge to use common sense and perpetuate more Mother’s Day Sundays. I dare you to think twice, three times even four is this really true and does it really need to be said and will this really change someone’s mind or will it just create more division and anger.
