Love them anyway

As I scroll through my feed,
wincing at some posts,
laughing at others,
I realize a few very important things.

1. People vent.
It is healthy, natural and normal.
It is not healthy to remain venting.
Love them anyway.

2. People are crass.
It is okay and sometimes silly.
Silly is good for a healthy mental state.
Love them anyway.

3. People whine.
It is okay to complain -
briefly.
Love them anyway.

4. People pick fights.
It's really not acceptable,
but has a lot to do with their self-esteem.
Love them anyway.

5. People want attention.
Again, it's really not acceptable
but has a lot to do with their self-esteem.
Love them anyway.

Whatever it is that irks you,
it happens for a particular reason
at the specific time.
Instead of reacting or responding,
Love them anyway.
