Better Together

As you know, I love music. During my life I have gone to hundreds of concerts. I can’t think of a single performance that was a disappointment.

One thing I love about live music is its ability to take us out of the world for a couple of hours. For a short time, everything is right. We are sharing the experience with several thousand people. Among the crowd are Republicans, Democrats, vegetarians, meat eaters, gun owners and gun grabbers. We don’t even think about who’s sitting (or standing) next to us.

Music is one of the things that connects us. And it’s a great reminder that we are all in this life together. We are more alike than we are different. Everyone has goals, dreams, desires, pains and struggles. We can help each other if we are willing to put our politics aside and see people for who they are, not their political party.

Please keep this in mind when you are engaged in your daily life. People are important, and the goodness of mankind transcends politics…
