I am someone who is innately interested in many things. In particular, I have always been a student of archaeology, ancient near east studies, Egyptology, and ufology. I love learning about religions, legends/mythology, and cultures. People are fascinating – how similar we are as well as how different.
I have learned in life that people enjoy getting their panties in a bunch, especially over stupid things. I have, also, come to understand that when someone says something like, ‘bless you’, they aren’t trying to convert you. Rather, they are expressing a meaningful gesture towards you. It doesn’t matter what you believe; to them, it is the most heartfelt expression of love and gratitude they can articulate. Instead of jumping up to start a debate or getting offended, accept it for what it is offered to be – a gesture of goodwill and friendship. That goes for the holiday season.
