motto..rant?
I am NOT a hugely - what you would call "religious" person.
I was almost shocked to read a passage from the Bible that is pretty much my motto in/with my life :
"Refuse to let the world corrupt you"
James 1:27
It really is a bit of wisdom that is more appropriate (in my opinion) NOW than at any other time. I mean, come on, there is so-called "social" media where people spend every day bashing, insulting and rehashing hate. To me - a "social" setting is a place to gather and talk and exchange things with people you want to and choose to be around. I personally don't want to spend my time "socializing" with people bemoaning how bad, stupid or whatever others are for not agreeing with their ideologies. Back in the day, I spent some times in bars, and it wasn't to be berated, chastised or (should I say it?) bullied by other bar patrons? NO!
