One thing I've learned maturing into my 30's, " to each his own". You cannot change a person's thoughts, view, feelings, or actions. You can only change yourself. Everyone is free to their own opinion, doesn't mean you have to agree with it. It is simply their personal view or statement that they chose to share or express. No need or reason to let it affect your feelings or character. Being accepting of diversity is educational and so much less stressful. You can agree to disagree, you can debate the validity of your opinions, but in the end, it doesn't matter what others think, feel, or do. Whatever makes them satisfied is their choice and regardless of what it is, all of us will face the consequences of our decisions. No one needs the judgement of others, bc no one is harder or more critical of us than our own conscience. Not to mention our personal relationship with God. He knows and sees all, and we will all answer to Him on judgement day.
