The beauty of differing opinions calls to me.
The fact that we can see the same problem and come up with completely different solutions is a testament to the human mind. Beautiful.
We should prize above all: each other
But instead
We are told and taught that anyone different is (1) wrong (2) stupid or (3) evil.
Even I , believer in one God can not believe that this is the way we were created to be.
Minds and hearts are each intrinsically unique and special. So why do we instead hate each other for beautiful creation?
Today we see enemies out of brothers, villains out of friends. Politically, socially, religiously
To me it seems obvious.
My first command is to love my neighbor like myself
How could anyone be so self righteous to think that THEIR solution alone will benefit those that are not them.
I talk not even of compromise.
Things that benefit everybody can not be compromise but only the best way to love one another.
There have been times where every group has had good/been good.
And the inverse is true as well
What astounds me is we let the crazies, the extremist, the nuts, and the talking heads set the stage for hate; their only goal being the preserving of themselves and power.
Instead of rising up, we worship. And our neighbor becomes our enemy.
I do not have to agree with you my friend. And you do not have to agree with me. That is true beauty. If we were all the same, it would be tragedy. If we were all poets and lived in the words and only for words and sought nothing solid but our own lyrical melody then that would be tragedy. If we were all simpley content with what we had then there would be no dreamers and it would be tragedy. If we were all nuns/monks then what would be our purpose in life? If we were all only concerned with knowledge where would be our compassion? All elements are needed. Required for perspective and humanity.
Why can't a republican and democrat be friends?
Why can and atheist and spiritual be able to converse and love!
Why can't those who think they have nothing in common find common ground?
Why can't we seek a solution to the problem without hating anyone else who tries?
We are to busy pointing out everyone else's failures to unite and find the best solution. We can not respect anyone who has a differing point of view.
Why?
When we assume the other has no value,
We render them valueless in our minds
And seek to destroy them
Until we stop and stand together
We will continue to let those without compassion or insight for us stand for us and tell lies and lead us astray.
Why can't we bond together.
Why can't we discover truth and solutions beneficiary to all?
Stand up my brethren. All the oppressed, poor, rich, Muslim, Christian, atheist, down trodden, confused human beings on the earth rise together
So we can gain our humanity
Back from the darkness.

Sick and tired of hate.
