Openning my eyes.

I have never in my life had this happen. I, like millions have had a strong reaction to some of the current events in the news. I have posted some of my opinions on FB and responded to others with my opinions creating some interesting, and for me at least, thought provoking discussions. I never expected to have a very longtime friend reacte to our differnce of opinion in such a strong way as to cause what I can only describe as a distructive rift in our friendship. I must file this very disturbing experience under, "I can't believe it", and try to move on. My faith in what I always believed has once angain proven that I am far too nieve in many respects. I really thought and believed that friends could and should have differences of opinion. These differences are what make all of our awarnesses grow and flourish. I will have to begin to change my idea of what defines friends. I will continue to believe that real friends will have this same understandings and look forward to interesting, thought provoking discussions in the future.
