Tuesday Matters But So Does How We Treat Each Other

Social media has made it way too easy to forget that there is a real person on the other side of the screen.

People will spend hours arguing, sharing things they have not taken the time to verify, tearing someone down, or trying to prove someone else wrong, yet many of those same people will not spend that same amount of time doing something positive for someone in their own community.

So today, instead of giving more energy to negativity, I hope people will take a little time and use it for something good. Check on a neighbor, call someone you have not talked to in a while, thank a teacher, first responder, coach, city employee, or anyone else who quietly gives their time to others. Support a local business, encourage a kid, help someone who needs it, or just say something kind to a person who may be having a harder day than you realize. None of those things take much, but they can mean a whole lot to someone else.

Tuesday is also an important day for Choctaw. Our community will make a decision on a proposal that matters to the future of our families, our seniors, our youth, and our community as a whole. Whether you are for it or against it, I hope you take the time to vote. Make your decision based on the information available, vote the way you believe is best for Choctaw, and make your voice heard.

We are never going to agree on everything, and that is okay. We can have different opinions about politics, schools, our city, taxes, development, this proposal, or any number of other issues without treating each other like enemies. We should ask questions, speak up, hold people accountable, and have strong opinions, but we can do all of that without being hateful, spreading misinformation, or forgetting that the person we disagree with is still a human being.

And no matter the decision you make on Tuesday, we should all respect one another for taking the time to participate in the process and make your voice heard. If your view is different than mine, we can still be friends, neighbors, coworkers, teammates, parents sitting beside each other at a ballgame, and people working together for the same community we all care about. One difference in opinion or one issue should never be enough to make us forget everything else we have in common.

There is already enough negativity in the world, so use today to be intentional about putting something better into it. Spend your time building someone up instead of tearing them down, helping instead of arguing, and encouraging instead of criticizing. You may never know how much one kind word, one phone call, or one small act of kindness can change someone’s day.

At the end of it all, Tuesday will come and go, the numbers will be counted, and regardless of the outcome, Choctaw will still be our home. We will still have families to support, kids to encourage, seniors to care about, businesses to help succeed, roads to improve, and a future to build together.

We may not always agree, but we are still neighbors, friends, families, and people. Be the reason someone feels a little more appreciated, a little more encouraged, and a little less alone today, and then on Tuesday, go make your voice heard. ... See MoreSee Less
