Can everyone stop already?!

I just don't know about people sometimes. 

I've been watching, for almost the past year, post after post of someone angry and feeling the need to trash Muslims, refugees, immigrants, and anyone else that they decide to be mad at. The thing is, I can deal with a little upset, annoyance, etc. because those feelings can be dealt with and others can explain and then the annoyed one is more likely to listen.  But that is not what I've been watching and reading lately.

I'm not sure where all this anger is coming from, but it really seems to be gaining momentum.  
I've wanted to speak out and say something, but what do you say to someone who seems to have no idea that the refugee they are angry over taking 'our jobs' or 'our money' is just a person like them and if anyone here was placed in that refugees shoes, they would be begging to just come live on a street that was safe, forget about money.  
People are people, no matter where they come from, no matter what they wear or what language they speak or the religion they are or their skin colour.  

I had a conversation with someone the other day and we both agreed that too many out there are absolutely clueless and have had way too much safety and comfort in their lives to truly be empathetic toward others.  Why that is, I don't know.  We all have the ability to step outside ourselves and imagine how someone might feel. 

So, lets take the example of Muslims....that is a religion, and a dang cool one at that.  Their religion happens to be very close to mine.  They are taught to love others and that they and everyone else have worth.  They are taught to treat others in a kind and loving manner and to be honest in their dealings with others.  They are taught about life before and after they live on earth and they are wonderful people. 
Saying all Muslims are all terrorists is like saying all Christians belong to the KKK.   
Sounds ridiculous, right? 

There are good people all over the world, in every country.  And there are also evil people all over the world.  But if we take the time to quiet our minds and look around peacefully, we will see all the good and realize that our job is to hold the good up as a standard and treat everyone with kindness and as we would want to be treated.  
Our job is to search out the good in everything and everyone.  Look around, it surrounds you. 

Seriously, people, just stop already.
