I like that suggestion – I always try to make sure that the good that I’m putting out into the world far outweighs my “opinions” or other thoughts. Uplift and try to soften other hearts is always the best strategy, in my opinion! <3

I think a lot of people struggle with that balance. For me, it comes back to the state of my heart and my intentions. If I feel true love for someone, and I really want to make sure they aren’t headed down the wrong path (which, for the record, I full believe can be found in every part of the political spectrum), then I usually want to help “correct” or “warn” them in a kind, personal way. I want to be filled with love and a soft heart in everything that I do. Just like a doomsday person who makes a giant billboard telling everyone to repent, I think there are some ways that are much more effective at influencing people than others. And I’m starting to think that making Facebook comments tends to fall more and more into the “not super loving OR effective” category. At the end of the day, if I feel true love and compassion for other people and for my Savior, then I move forward. If I am trying to prove that I am “right” or point out other people’s errors just because I think I should, I’m probably not having the softest heart. But it’s for everyone individually to figure out where that line is between a hardened and softened heart! <3

<3 <3 Thank you!

Prayer certainly helps me a lot! <3 Thank you!

Sharon,

I think for the most part people are tired of others opinions. I think uplifting none judgemental quotes or scripture verses might be a better way to go. As for me I stay out of the whole political stuff on fb.
