“He severed the umbilical cord to the rest of humanity” – The Thirst by Jo Nesbo

That’s what I seem to be doing. Severing most ties to the rest of humanity.

Hell, that’s exactly what I’m doing.

Seeming intelligent people, some dear friends, just can’t help themselves.

What’s the point of publicly exposing your unsolicited prejudiced political views on Facebook or other public forums?

Do you really think your rants are going to influence anyone?

Change minds?

Really.

Yes I have strong political views. But they are mine alone. Not for public consumption.

And, let’s face it. No one cares what I believe, especially if they don’t agree.

And no one cares what you believe either.

What we really care about is how YOU treat others.

So please, keep your hate speech to yourself.

Otherwise, our friendship might be altered.

“Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.” – Irving Berlin
