Health, actually, I ask people to not be RUDE to others. But yes, we should try to not annoy others as well. But the fact is that we all have different views, and as long as we are civil, there is no reason we should be getting annoyed. I don’t agree with MANY MANY opinions of people here. Do I get annoyed and angry at them because they have different opinions? Of course not! I simply move on, and understand that there are other views in the world.
And excuse me- it’s your DUTY to get angry???? No, it isn’t. What you SHOULD do is try to understand that because there are so many different views and opinions out there, we must be as accepting as possible. And if you believe someone is really doing something wrong, you can try to let them know in a POLITE, SENSITIVE way. I repeat: POLITE and SENSITIVE. Not by shouting, getting angry, or being rude. Letting anger into your heart will make you a sad, lonely person.
And who says I even agree with this? All I said was that today is an opportunity for us to show love for each other despite our differences. You know what I did today? I davened shacharis at a minyan that said hallel, and in the afternoon I learned in a kollel with people who would never even speak of today as a holiday. And I was happy in both places.
I will not respond to you in this thread any more, because:
1) I know that nothing I say will make an impression on you.
2) All it will cause is more anger, which is the opposite of what the original point of my post was.
Wishing you a wonderful shabbos.
