We are as a world living in times of strife, of which we wish to try to make sense and point at one thing or person that is the one and only cause. DO not fall for such a trap. While divisions amongst groups, fandoms, cultures, and nations are rampant, always remember to question what you are told and by whom. Find the truth outside of one's comfort zone and bubble. read past the half truths and manipulation of words by those who claim to be "experts" and gate keepers of information. Ask why someone with information or an opinion or idea is being censored and silenced and canceled. Know that those of a nation do not all fallow or agree with the actions of its leaders. Ask your self what are your morals? would your loved ones approve? would your friends? Did you have friends of long time past that you tossed away because ideology demanded it? Ask if others are trying to manipulate you and your thoughts and ideas and emotions to drive you down a path you once said no to.

Look past ideology and sides and see that there are others in need who are victims of a system meant to cause division and hatred amongst others. Embrace the differences we have and the similarities we share that all make us unique individuals. Respect others and others shall respect you. Accept others for who they are, and they shall accept you for your self. And more importantly, know one's own self. Know who you are, not what you are or want to be, but who you are as an individual. When you accept who you are as your self, peace and joy will soon follow.

Stand together against the authoritarians and dictator and tyrants that tell you you must hate each other because of your difference. Stand tall and shout NO! We will not be divided! DO this, and you will see the truth of what causes such strife in our world.

To our fellow people in the Ukraine and Russia, our hearts go out to you and wish only peace and a quick peaceful end to the conflict. I care not fow what ones politics or ideology may be, i care only about peace, safety, and freedom.
