From the mind of critic: “If we’re so divided as a nation that we think the other side is the epitome of evil, how come our struggles are basically the same? Does the whole concept of the other side and us vs. them keep us from ever uniting, because it completely fogs over the fact that it’s more than 2, 3 or infinite sides of the same coin, but all part of the same side of the same coin? Or does this seperation of us into tribes just represent a behavior as old as time itself, where we seek protection from those who look, speak, think and believe different, by being around those who are like us? Whether we’ve described what’s going on right now as the greatest thing since sliced bread, the worst thing since hitler or any of the other million opinions inbetween, we’re all in the same boat. The bigotry, prejudice and downright hatred we feel, is fed by the moneychangers at the top who are in the shadows, but always have the final say, and use our division as a means of control so they can do whatever their hearts desire. They know they’ll win if we continue fighting each other. We will lose if we stay ignorant to the brilliant scheme they’re pulling. Have we ever asked ourselves why we keep fighting the same fights over and over, that always get better before they gets worse, and then better and then worse again, without ever truly getting better? All of us are hurting right now. We all see major changes afoot and we’re scared. We might feel like we have no control, and simply have to be happy with the bread and circuses we’re handed, while things get worse and worse at the top. What we must remember is we’re only helpless if we allow ourselves to be. The hate, ignorance and fear we feel, is exactly what’s holding us back. Once we see why it’s holding us back, we’ll realize our rage has been mistargeted. To move forward and evolve, we must make sure that our enemies are actually the ones doing us harm” 🙂
