We live in a world today where it seems like hate is thrown around like candy. We bash and tear each other down over our different beliefs. Recently going on facebook has been hard for me because it seems to be full of hate, especially with the election coming up: "Trump is a racist", "Biden is an idiot", "if you don't support gay rights you're a bad person", "if you do support gay rights you're a bad person." Why is it so hard to just love and support each other and to love and support our differences? I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. I believe marriage is essential and sacred. I believe every baby has the right to birth and shouldn't be aborted. Does this make me a bad person? I hope not! Does this mean I hate people who have same-sex attraction or who believe in abortion? Do I hate people for voting differently than me? NO! Of course not!
God's greatest commandment is "thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." What an amazing commandment! All Heavenly Father wants from us is to love each other, He sent us here with the greatest gift; agency. Do I have the right to take away someones ability to choose what they believe? Heck no! Our country is so amazing because we have the FREEDOM to choose! I think what we often forget to love others no matter what they choose, even if it's different from you. If we love, and genuinely love, maybe we can obtain peace. I know I sure need it.
