    A Thought About Courtesy and Civility:

    We don't have to like everyone. We don't have to agree with everyone. We can disagree passionately, even profoundly. But wishing ill upon another human
    being should never be acceptable, regardless of how we feel about that person or their beliefs.

    When we take pleasure in another person's misfortune, or abandon simple courtesy and civility because we dislike someone, we diminish not only ourselves
    but society as a whole.

    Kindness, decency, and respect should never depend upon whether someone shares our opinions.

    @lulu_bear @robini71 I agree with this so very, very much! It genuinely saddens me that this isn't just common sense, but I think common sense should be renamed to uncommon sense because it seems to be in short supply these days. If that isn't bad enough, things seem to be getting worse on this front instead of better. I will never understand why people can't just agree to disagree or live and let live.
