The past two days while reading the news, I can't help but feel that we take things way too serious nowadays and we as Americans can't just take things for what they are and let some things go. First, it was the principal that threatened the valedictorian with his future because the student didn't use the speech that was edited for him by school officials and, here is the kicker, he mentioned God and Jesus in the speech. Having read the speech, I personally didn't think that the mention of God and Jesus was appropriate for the commencement speech, but I certainly didn't think it was worth taking the student's appointment to the Naval Academy away. And the beauty of living in this country is that everyone can have their own opinion.
Today, I read the news and see that there as in issue now with the Zesty Italian commercial. Again, everyone has their own opinion and I personally find the ad quite amusing. But I can see where some people wouldn't like it, but, yet again, is it worth making a stink about it?
I feel like too many times we focus on the frivolous and we have lost our sense of humor. We have also lost our ability to be tolerant of others and their beliefs. Let's stop taking everything so seriously, focus on the issues that are truly important, and let other people express themselves too! Be tolerant of others and let things go!
