 I know this blog post is supposed to be about my startup but I am just tired.

I am tired of people being so miserable to one another.

I am tired of people demanding that others be open-minded while they only listen to people they agree with.

I am tired of people spending all their time on social media just attacking others and not actually doing anything.

I am tired of both sides not actually listening to what the other side is saying and just assuming the worst about them.

I am tired of our inability to actually have a discussion about what we believe using facts, ideas, and concepts instead of name-calling and personal attacks.

I am tired of feeling like it is all out of my control, that I cannot do anything.

I am tired of a small group of people on both sides ruining it for everyone else because they are unhappy with their lives so they take it out on other people.

The problem is that I always want to change things. I want to make things better. I do not just want to talk about things, I want to see progress.

Yet this problem seems like it is far too big to get my hands around.

It is hard to even bring up any of this because how do you talk to someone about opening their mind, without coming across like you know everything?

So that is where I am.

If you are reading this, please consider just be nice to one another, especially the people you do not agree with. Do not assume the worst in people even when their ideas are not ones you agree with. Don’t waste your time on social media taking cheap shots at people. Listen to people to understand them not to judge them.

I do not know everything, and I never said I did.

I don’t write this to tell everyone else how to live their lives, I write it for myself because I need to get it out.
