Do you look for the silver lining or do you be an activist? Can you do both? I made an earlier post about something I saw at the beach tonight and included a photo. One Facebook friend saw the beauty of the photo but the majority saw an environmental danger and let me know all about it. I completely agree the danger exists, yet the purpose of my post was to share the beauty of the moment. <em>But I&#8217;ve been guilty of doing the same thing<\/em> when friends post pics of heavy, fatty, fried, sweet foods. I look at it and all I can see is health problems in the making. Sometimes I can smile and shake my head because their experience is none of my business, but I can seldom revel in the joy of that particular moment for them. It&#8217;s a razor&#8217;s edge, isn&#8217;t it, how to fully experience the beauty of a moment while staying mindful of consequences and implications.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/look-for-the-silver-lining-or-be-an-activist\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Look for the silver lining or be an activist?&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/look-for-the-silver-lining-or-be-an-activist\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/look-for-the-silver-lining-or-be-an-activist\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/look-for-the-silver-lining-or-be-an-activist\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Look%20for%20the%20silver%20lining%20or%20be%20an%20activist?&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/look-for-the-silver-lining-or-be-an-activist\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So which is it?
