As we reflect on the life of Martin Luther King Jr., It is a good time to consider that we can have differences of opinions and still be respectful of each other's thoughts. All too often, I see social media comments that are disrespectful, snarky and rude. Ask yourself, do I feel better having left that comment? Does it change anything? Will the person you directed your comments to, change their mind because of it? The answer is most likely, no. So how do we change the trajectory of civility in our country?
Change how you react to disagreements. You and you alone are responsible for your behavior and how you react to the behavior of others.
"We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will perish together as fools" Martin Luther King, Jr.
