I grew up in a family with differing political views. The family joke was that when Mam & Dad went up to vote they canceled each other out. They were married 66 years. I have 4 siblings. We all think differently. We love each other & always will.

For the love of all that's good, why is this? It's so petty and narrow-minded and ungrateful to cut off relations with your own parents because of politics.

In DC 1970's, a Jewish refugee from the 1930's asked another German to come work in her boutique. The new employee soon confessed her identity - she was the daughter of Rudolf Hoss commander of Auschwitz. The Jewish lady did not hate Brigitte for who her father was. She stayed in her employ 35 yrs.

Fr Willie Doyle was Catholic chaplain in the battlefields of Europe WW1. One day he found the bodies of two youths lying side by side. One was English, the other German. They were holding hands. There is a story here, but I'll leave you to imagine it for yourselves. #LoveNotHate

Please be kind. don’t be the reason someone didn't eat today. don’t be the reason someone hates waking up. don’t be the reason why someone doesn’t join in on a conversation. don’t be the reason why someone hates themselves. trust me, it sticks with them forever

Betsie ten Boom. Imprisoned at Ravensbruck for hiding Jews during WW2, refused to hate her captors. She prayed for them instead. What Freedom!

Never teach a child to hate. Teach them to love everybody. Give example by doing this. 'I don't agree with xyz on anything, but I love her just the same.'

I've seen posts on TikTok about people divorcing family members because they voted a way they didn't like. This is a tragedy. Learn to live with family members who think differently to you. They're Family.

Your enemy is not your enemy. Your enemy can be a future friend. You can refuse to hate. Hatred is so destructive in this world. Seek to understand instead.
