This country has under gone great growing pains since it's birth. Fear of differences have been the cause of much pain and suffering for all Americans. In the 60's, this country went the fires of hell to overcome segregation. Why then, do the major political parties and it's leaders keep fanning the fires of prejudice? The Chaos Theory, would explain their reasons.
What is the Theory of Chaos? It is really quite simple and if you think about it, all becomes clear. If the major political parties can keep Americans apart by name calling, teaching intolerance and instilling fear, then they keep control. By pointing out and misconstruing our differences instead of pointing how much we all have in common, then they have power of us.
Think about your neighbors, your coworkers or the members of your church. While the color of your skin maybe different, or your work load different or your faith alittle different, underneath we are really the same. You are born in to the same world as we all are, we all have struggles, both great and small. We all laugh and cry, we all celebrate and mourn and we eventually leave the mortal world behind.
If we stop listening to media hype, political rhetoric, and others who spout off hateful and hurtful garbage, then we can start rebuilding our country together. It's been over 100 years since the Civil War was fought, it's been 40 plus years since we started fighting segregation. Isn't it time that we put all of our energy into rebuilding lives and our country, instead of fear, hate and mistrust.
Chaos causes confusion, which can lead to anger, fear and mistrust. When you feel overwhelmed by chaos, you can begin to start looking to cast blame and too often you place that blame on to others just because they are different. Political parties too often us this against Americans and can even encourage this mistrust and even hate.
Our differences are what make us strong. Our differences have helped build this country. Isn't it time that we took our country back from the politicians who keep us apart for their own financial and political power? If they keep us at each others throat, then we don't see what they are doing to us and to our country. It's time that politicians started listening and working for us.
So, take the time to know your neighbors. Take the time to speak with your co workers and to others in this world. Granted you won't always agree with their point of view, but if you start off with respect, that will go a long way in learning to live together in this world.
