Too horribly hard

Remember those days of having to write a term paper that was written well enough to earn you a passing grade? Remember the dread and the misery? That was me this morning. I have had a sweet friend for years and years. We have never met in person but we are sisters and have shared so much. And my sister friend? Eeeek. A Trump supporter. We managed to skate through that- gingerly but we got there. She knows that I lean toward the Goddess and she leans very much toward evangelicism. Fine. For me, all life is sacred. Jesus is in there somewhere. Then: boom. This Charley Kirk stuff. This morning she told me she is mourning him. That hit a sad and sour note for me. First time I heard of the guy was when he was killed. Then I looked up his beliefs. And quickly found that he is one of those who help to divide the U S. I am sorry when anybody, human or animal, is killed and violently. I am not mourning this particular individual more than say, the current list of kids killed by gunfire. ALL life is sacred. The U S and the world in general needs less meanness and more civil discourse- listening to each other. The wanton going after the OTHER needs to stop. Which ever brand of OTHER bugs you. Stop harming and start tolerating. So I sent her an email. Will I lose her? We'll see.
