Green hypocrits

[The Green Meeme]

I'm writing this with a mood of frustration.
I'm irritated, because, I do the best I can- to not only do what I think is right, but to make efforts to improve the things I do to help the earth.
Obviously, we all have different opinions, and I try to respect others' opinions while still making progress on my own.
I'm hurt, offended, and frankly mad out of my wits when I'm attacked for not being like someone else.
I feel like I'm walking this tightrope between Green and Modern, Democrat and Republican, Conservative and Liberal, Religion and Science, etc...
I don't know what to do. I feel like anything I do from either side of any issue is judged and ridiculed.

Maybe I'm naive, maybe i'm an idealist-- but WHY does everyone have to be on one side or the other.

I'm exasperated with people who cannot understand my green efforts-- and frustrated when they not only do not agree- which is fine- but make sincere effort to sabotage me or ridicule me.
I am further frustrated when people insist on talking to me about politics, and no matter which side I speak about I get ripped apart.

I feel like if the world would stop being so darn opinionated and start getting FULL disclosure of information-- not just the bits and pieces that support their arguement, we'd all be better off-- So I guess ultimately, I just do not understand why people Don't Bother to research "the whole story" and take the easy way out- with the minute pieces of info that back up their ideas-- but completely make them look like idiots because they do NOT have the full story...
Not that there is any arguing with these people, or showing them the light.
Argh! I'm frustrated, I want people to wake up!! And I want people to at least respect my view even if they are different than their own!!!

Is it just me?

I am a firm believer that it takes baby steps to make a difference in this world....not everything can be accomplished and we all cannot be to the point of self sustainability....not infringing on Mother Earth.

There are so many ways to make a difference and so many views...I may see my world through rosy coloured glasses but the person next to me sees theirs differently but we are both trying to make a difference in this world

Baby steps

And yes, everyone is allowed to have their opinions respected, even if it is not agreeable with our own. I will fight to the end to have someone else understand how I feel but I will do it without offending others and I will always have the right tools to back up what I say

With that being said...I look forward to reading and participating more on this forum
