We can't change everyone. We can only change ourselves ... What we do to one we do to all. How we treat each other counts. If you can't like someone then just respect their differences.
No one is ever going to be everyone's friend and not everyone will get along but we can all agree to just put down the "weapons" and stop. Just stop. Life is too short for hate.
Indeed!! I felt that clicking the Thanks button was not enough: I think you hit the nail right on the head.
We all have to agree to disagree and continue to work together to help the community, regardless of who you like or dislike, who wronged you or your friends, who stole your catnip or your favourite sleeping spot, etc.
I hope the entire community can come together and put aside differences long enough to bring awareness and maybe do something really amazing.
This year's theme is “Partnerships for Peace — Dignity for All” How appropriate.
