We choose what we really support.

I'm not sure where to put this post.
I just wanted to make a small note.
WE CHOOSE WHAT & WHO WE SUPPORT/DON'T SUPPORT!!
I care more about somebody who's terminally I'll, or maybe somebody who has been assaulted while they were out hiking, over somebody who just has family drama. Like, the famy who has a missing child is more important to me than the family who's child was taken away by the state because the parents were deadbeats. I don't care about your drama. I will absolutely donate money to any GoFundMe page as long a it's not regarding petty bs drama, like "baby daddy drama". I guess it could always be a character flaw within myself because when I was going through family drama, and was on court over child custody against my family, and was couch hopping/living in women's shelters, I was taught that my troubles were less important than the woman who was at college party, and got drugged & raped. I was told that my troubles wer petty bs drama, and wasn't as important as someone getting drugged & raped.

Re: We choose what we really support.

Everyone supports different things and different causes so it’s fair that there are certain things you do not support. Other people may support those things which is valid, but you don’t have to.

Re: We choose what we really support.

Everyone has the right to choose who and/or what they support. You're absolutely right about that! The most important thing is to recognize that everyone has differing viewpoints on individuals, issues, causes, etc. and that it's imperative to be respectful of differing beliefs.

Re: We choose what we really support.

You are absolutely right! We all have the right to support different individual and causes. But, as Sam has said above, it's important that we recognize that it's not only applicable to ourselves and that we need to respect who/what others support. If we don't like something or someone that another person supports, then we need to be civil about it. I think that's the beauty of human beings: no two individuals are exactly the same. :)

Re: We choose what we really support.

Certainly right! We all have our opinions and choice based on what or who we support.
