I am so tired of this election campaign, and being surrounded by all the vitriol that's being spewed by both parties, the media, and perpetuated on social media. Why not express what you want, instead of what you don't want? Stick your political sign on the lawn if you wish, but don't remove your neighbor's. In conversation with others talk about what you are looking for: maybe fair wages, job security, fair and accessible health insurance, whatever the case may be. But all that screaming, yelling and anger just lacks civility.

We are social beings meant to live in groups. Courtesy, manners, etiquette and niceties were invented to make living together more pleasant and promote positive energy. But it requires putting the harmony of togetherness ahead of the short-term satisfaction of self-centered vengeful anger for the greater benefit of all. Anger, profanities and cursing poison the ambiance and propagate negative energy.

We need more positive energy, and we can't change others, we can only change our own attitude. A little light chases away a lot of darkness. You always have a choice between dark and light.
