Yes, we are Shay and and its definitely time we, the positive, come on over to the beautiful side (this forum) because the negativity in the Republican forum is sickening. Its so sad, really. I never, ever want to become that bitter about anything or anyone. Never. Their negativity is like a disease and if you don't get out quick, you'll catch it and that's a promise.
Everytime I visit in there, I leave with my stomach in knots. Ughhh!
I just love what you said, here Kimmie. You know, until this election year, I have never been much for paying attention to politics. Well, I guess in the past I knew I wasn't a Republican, but I never really knew any. Not to say that all Republicans are negative, but I must say, that to read most of the posts in the Rep. forums here is a lesson in true negativity.
Let us feel grateful that we can freely express our celebration that America finally has a "coming together place" in Obama.
The day after the election, I felt this enormous weight being lifted. I don't mean just off from myself, but from the
world. When I mentioned it to a wise person who is very close to me, she said that she felt it too, and felt that it might be partly because of the negative energy from other nations of the world against us, being switched to positive. Such gratitude I feel that a part of us, both within and outside of our countries racial and "class" divides, has been
so liberated. It only matters what
we feel. It isn't our job to
make others realize what is happening, only to embrace it ourselves. Besides, they will never understand the opression in its many forms, that we have felt over the years -
"for everything, there is a season..."
