My Favorite Quote

It’s not our differences that divide us; it’s our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences.


Reflecting on this week’s election, my favorite quote quote came to mind. Everyone seems so opinionated about politics, and I guess I’m no different. But it seems too easy to lose sight of this most important thought – isn’t it wonderful that we can disagree? Isn’t it wonderful that we can argue our opinions, and choose who to put into office? Many of the people I know were underwhelmed by President Bush, but don’t forget that our fellow Americans voted him into office. That means that a big part of this country thought that he would be the best possible president to represent us. Whether your candidate lost in the previous elections or in this one, let’s not forget that we are all in this together. Let’s have a humble moment to remember that the rest of the country is entitled to their opinions too, and instead of belittling them, celebrate that we can disagree and still respect each other.
