Hmmmm, I hold my values & thoyghts gecause I have looked at the big picture & my thoughts & beliefs reflect a lot of time, research put into them. I did not get my thoughts from just agreeing with people.

This whole country & probably the world went from the concept of tolerance to name callibg & labeling if yiu don't agree with their thinking. I honestly don't give a crap about what label they want to give. I have other people I know who have out as much time into tgeir thoughts too. If I don't agree & if they don't want to be friends because I think different.....that is their loss, not mine. I am nit going to be a sheep & think what society wants me to think just because "EVERYONE ELSE" thinks that way. I hava a mind of my own & the abiluty to think for myself & I like that ability. I do research on my thinking to I dkn't just create it in my mind like my dad & my ex-H did. I have eniygh self-confidence in what I think & why that I don't care if I think differently than others. Honestly I am happy to have a mind thst can think & analyze & come up with it's own conclusions & is not controlled by what everyone in society seems to think.

I don't have to agree with people to get along with them & those people who feel that is necessary aren't wirth having as friends.
