sticks & stones

"Just because she's our friend doesn't mean that everything she does is right."

"Just because she doesn't do everything right doesn't mean she's not our friend..."

A wise man once said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand".

Well, "I believe this [friendship] cannot endure, permanently, half [love] and half [hate]. I do not expect [our differences] to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of [hate] will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful [to each of us], [you] as well as [me].."

—I will not let that happen.

The world wants us to fight, the world wants us to hate.

But I'm tired of all the hate.

I'm tired of all the lies.

I'm tired of all the fighting.

I'm tired of all the tears.

The world tries to break us down

and eat at our weaknesses

THE WORLD WANTS US TO ALL BE ENEMIES.

But I say, we can BEAT THE WORLD.

We DON'T HAVE TO listen to everyone else.

We can BE THE CHANGE.

Sticks and stones may break our bones

and break our hearts

and break our friendships

and break our families

IF WE LET THEM.

TAKE A STAND,

break the sticks&stones in your life... and be united.
