The way Portland is headed I just keep coming back to the Golden Rule. Roughly, "Treat others as you wish/want to be treated." Many of us face a hard life; day, week, month, whatever your given circumstance. So much anger, impatience, judgement, uncertainty, and acting out on an immediate impulse or response. Yah, more people are moving here and that is not going to change. I am trying to be aware of my actions and take ownership by communicating with a person I might have wronged. Communication is key (although that sounds cliche). In the end, can we all just breathe, have some patience, and strive to be the best person we can be?
