Will you be included in the half of our country who is disappointed after the election results come in, or in the half that isn’t?
None of us know.
Will you win? Will you lose?
If anyone loses, we all lose.
Just think if your spouse was not satisfied in your marriage. Would you be defensive? Would you change? Would you find a counselor to help? Would you write them off as crazy?
What if you were the one not satisfied? What would help you?
Just think if HALF of your family was unhappy because of something you thought was right. Would you understand? Would you defend? Would you listen? Would you ignore their feelings?
What if you were in the half that was unhappy? What would help you?
Just think if HALF of your friends felt uncared for by you. Would you want to know their pain? Would you spend less time with them? Would you ask them to explain their feelings? Would you find new friends?
What if you were the one feeling uncared for? What would help you?
Just think if HALF of the people you work with were unmotivated. Would you get angry at them? Would you want them fired? Would you talk to them about it? Would you tell them to quit sulking and just get on with their work?
What if you were in the half that was unmotivated? What would help you?
What if HALF of the people in your city were angry. Would you tell them to cheer up? Would you listen to them? Would you ignore them? Would you deny their anger?
What if you were in the half that was angry? What would help you?
Just think if HALF of the people in this country were afraid because they were without power. Would you reach out? Would you compromise? Do you care about getting their agreement?
What if you were in the half that was afraid and powerless? What would help you?
How will we treat others?
How will we come together?
How will we help?
