Reframing assumptions


So many people seem to get upset these days, 
Quick to take offense, 
Interpreting absent-mindedness,
Mistakes or exhaustion as micro-aggressions 
When we used to be more accepting; 
More forgiving, and more tolerant. 
What if we more consciously 
 Reframed our assumptions, 
Made allowance for our differences,
 Let go of our divisions 
And the need to win or lose, 
Walked away from unnecessary conflict, 
And found new ways to co-exist and share?
