I love your sentiment! I have such diversity in my family and most are accepting to my conservative views. I am thankful..I could not even begin to imagine what you must be experiencing in your life while holding true to your convictions...thank you!
You know, there was a time when my family operated on the premise of "live and let live". I was raised in a very tolerant and truth-seeking household. I'm grateful for that, because that freedom allowed me to develop in my own direction, choosing the path that seemed best to me - not the herd.
Over the decades though, my family members have become more and more indoctrinated into a more solid liberal viewpoint. One that isn't so tolerant or truth-seeking any more. It astounds me to see the transformation in them. They don't see it, but having found my way out of the liberal mind control trap myself, I can clearly see how much they've changed over time.
My feeling is that, of all the family, I'm the only one who's found their way back to the sane ground we all once inhabited.
I could not even begin to imagine what you must be experiencing in your life while holding true to your convictions.
I don't let it get under my skin that much. Not that it's never done so. There have been times when I went through real torture over my disintegrating family relations.
But, I don't wake up thinking about it, nor do I carry it to sleep with me each night. It just is what it is. I can't do their thinking for them. If they want to ignore the gargantuan dayglo handwriting on the wall, then it's their own integrity that they're compromising. They have to live with that, not me.
