I was thinking how many folks in a civilized society, appear to choose a dividing line, among members of that shared society, based of personal needs, observations, beliefs.....without much regard to their own duplicitous actions, which only fuels and widens, that
divide instead of trying to lessen it, by finding solutions, compromise, and in general, extending to others what we demand for ourselves.....
I will use these topical issue, that are in the forefront of this divide, in the political and social arena, we see being pushed daily into our lives, by others, for their
own personal cause(s).
They are,
abortion, and
gun rights.......
I don't think I need to point out those parties pushing, defending, or attacking, either of these
topics....do I?
Look at both of them......
Can you see any similarities?
How about this one......
Both of these issues deal with, in one way, or another,
death......
Are these the
best issues, ones worthy of that divide, that a civilized society can place so much time, energy, and resources that might be better utilized in
saving lives, so they might have opportunities to their pursuit of happiness?
Maybe the mentality of:
OH YEAH....BUT YOUR MAMMA IS UGLIER THAN MY MAMMA...... is all they can muster, because looking into ones own failed reasoning and culpability is just a little too scary.....????
OR..........
Maybe, both of your mama's, are the same,
UGLY It takes much of a person to ultimately conquer their own shortcomings, to rise to the top of civility......and even a greater effort, for the whole society.....
But a race to the bottom, takes not much effort at all.....
For without lift of spirit, gravity will always win, pulling everyone to crash in a heap.......
Think about it.
