A first Blog

Here I am. A blog. It has finally come to this. Well perhaps this can be the journal I've always wanted to keep but never did. A new year's resolution come late.

The episode de jour would have to be intollerance. I'm so terribly sick of people's intolerance. My own boyfriend bashing Christians (regularly) bugs me. So we're wiccans. Big Fat Hairy Deal! Who cares? There is nothing wrong with being a christian or anything else for that matter if that's what gets you to personal enlightenment.
My friends that fight eachother for a differing opinion. What is the use of it all? I don't get it. Why on earth would it matter if someone doesn't like a store you frequent. If the person is someone you like then what's the big? Why does there need to fighting over pettiness?
And now the most recent bullshit... JD's blog. I went there because Myko from one of the boards I frequent (PACE for anyone that cares) tells the board about a poor disturbed boy who could use some help. On pace she's all concerned but on JD's blog she is nothing but snide and bitchy to Aimee (ok so perhaps a former witch - gone christian who lived with a warlock deserves a little ribbing) who has been trying to help the poor guy. So Aimee may be misguided in the how, but the thought and concern and her genuine caring for the individual is there. But then Myko (Just Me) gets Brandon (aka Nehadi, I assume) involved. He is one of the least tolerant people I've ever met. And he jumps so significantly over the poor man that JD asks him not to post there at all (Good for JD) So again I ask, Why is it so important to be right? To seek out inconsistancies in someone else? Why is it that there are people that want to hurt others to prove themselves superior?
Perhaps I shouldn't feel so slighted when people are mean to eachother. Is it just me who believes that to hurt one person is to hurt us all? Am I the only one that really believes the Harm None philosophy? Is it stupid to think that we could all care for one another, and in our genuine love for humanity make this crazy world better?
Call me crazy then... because I do want to make a difference. I do want to teach my childeren to be better, to care for others, to care for our earth. I want my priorities to lie with love and unity rather than opposition and bickering. It may be crazy, but that is who I am, and the tenent that I believe.
