The Wall That Divides Us
In our everyday struggle to attain we often neglect the thing that matters most. what is that you ask, we all know what it is we all claim to have it. Genuine love, we are all on this earth for each other, but there always seems to be that one thing that divides us, that separates us. Good demons and Evil angels, Good Muslims and bad Christians, racist blacks and enslaved whites, starving rich and overfed poor, Gay heterosexuals and heterosexual homos just a name a few. theres alway too opposing sides, a wall dividing us
Yea you read it right, good Muslims yup Ive met quite a lot of them but is it always right to look at things from one perspective?. Their dedication to their religion is remarkable so is their misinterpretation of certain matters, they have flaws, don't we all. Christians on the other hand lack that dedication even in the Christian community there is division (the wall). They both do and preach what they understand, so should one be looked at a certain way just because he or she processes knowledge differently from how others do we are all unique in our own individual way .
Racism, yet a barrier in our society. Whites enslaved in their idea of being the epitome of the human race, blacks hating and discriminating against that idea yet paying the price for it.
The rich are starving, yes they are because they keep amassing like they don't have they keep making prices higher so as to get rich like the wealth already acquired was nothing. The poor are so well fed they cant move anymore, fed with the unfairness of life and cant move due to the paralysis the system has caused them.
Despite all these indifferences in our society if the average man can come out and truly say to himself 'ill love man just as much as i love myself' then life would be a lot more easier for us all. Acceptance is the door to a more peaceful and happy life and genuine love is the key to that door.
"Whites enslaved in their idea of being the epitome of the human race, blacks hating and discriminating against that idea yet paying the price for it." Please expand on this, I am not following your reasoning.
its all about understanding, i only used it as a metaphor for races and ethnic groups discriminating and hating each other because of pride and believe that they are better than others. therefore the context of whites thinking they are better than the blacks.
you could always hit me up if you have questions or ideas you just want to share.
thanks though for the feedback really appreciate it.
I don't feel like whites are better than any other, to the contrary. It is my observation that white people hate their own race most. I don't even like the "race" conversation anyway, grouping people by their skin color is the problem. I prefer MLK's statement about judging a person by the content of their character. The only minority I acknowledge is the individual.
wow. thats really something, very true though, but my article was based on the reality of the present situation racism is out there and its real very very real. And i dont think whites hate their own race
but im also in support of what you said though, judging a person should not be based on race but on the content of their character. You are very right
thanks again, having an intelligent discussion like this riles me up
keep it coming bruv. lol

STOPYou touched on some very controversial issues in this post and even though not everyone would agree with you, I can see where you are coming from but, what would you say about people who punish themselves every time they do something wrong? would you say they should mete out same treatment on an erring person as well?
I feel that we love differently and therefore loving people the same as we love ourselves might not be the way forward. I feel that we should first of all understand what love is to us, and to others for we are a flawed race (humans). Then we must seek to show that love both to ourselves and to others as well. For love in itself is one thing, we are the ones that vary.
thanks man
point noted
appreciate it
