Human beings are complex.
Your neighbors are complex.
They are not caricatures. They are not stereotypes. They are not tropes. They are not simple. They cannot be labeled. They don't fit into the box.
They are not talking points. They are not to be used as power plays.
Your neighbors are complex.
They are not caricatures. They are not stereotypes. They are not tropes. They are not simple. They cannot be labeled. They don't fit into the box.
They are not talking points. They are not to be used as power plays.
They have multiple opinions and convictions; sometimes holding, seemingly, incongruent ones. Maybe even confusing ones.
They may vote one way -- like you.
Or another way -- not like you.
They probably agree with you on a ton. They may disagree with you on something.

They are difficult -- like you
They do not want to be tagged -- like you.
They are not to be feared. They have experienced suffering. They have experienced joys. They are not machines; they are bodies and souls.
They desire to be know & be known, love & be loved.
Like you.

But those people -- the ones you don't love. The ones that are complicated and nuanced -- like yourself. The ones you're annoyed with; and the ones who are annoyed *by you.*
They are human beings, image-bearers of God.
And they are *not* the enemy.
