My thoughts about politics/people

Greetings,
I have been taking a lot of different issues and looking at people's perspectives and views on things lately and I feel like I have been empathetic towards their views almost to the point where it makes me indifferent. Yes, I have my own views and will stand up for what I believe in but as I grow older I find it easier to be more accepting of others and to see both sides of the issue.

I do not agree with close minded people, only because I think it can create conflict. I think that others should be able to listen to others point of view and to see it through a different perspective.

I have been posting many news articles on Planned Parenthood just because I feel very strongly about protecting womens rights to health care. I have stirred up peoples thought processes because some people have been questioning my views. One of the messages that I have received came from a person that is strictly conservative and doesn't have much room to change their view, "I see your politics veering sharply to the left and it distresses me."

First, I can agree with that statement. I'm all about change and making things better. I can thank my education for that because if it weren't for everything that I have learned especially in college I would have been very closed minded.

There's something to ponder-maybe someone will message me about veering sharply to the left...who knows. : )-I'm getting people to think so maybe that's a positive? IDK.

This week has been great. I went to the technology fair and learned some neat things about facebook and IPAD. It made me want to buy an IPAD-They seem common and I feel left out. Maybe for graduate school I can get one...

Today I am going to a presentation for unhealthy relationships. It will be interesting because I am curious to see the warning signs and what to avoid when pursuing a relationship. I will be able to keep this in my thought process when I do go into marriage and family therapy or family life education.

I hope you all have a nice day-the sun is out so that is a positive-
-Jessi
