Simple Math

​With each passing day, our country is becoming more and more divided.  Very little love is multiplying.
 
Democrats vs Republicans
Liberals vs Conservatives
Women vs Men
Whites vs Blacks
Police vs Civilians
Rich vs Poor
Domestic vs Foreign
Young vs Old
Empowered vs Victim
 
I’m tired of all the political division, with each party cutting down and slandering the other.  I’m tired of all the “he said, she said” commentaries.   I’m tired of letting money “talk”, allowing allegations and law suits to soar, many times destroying lives.  I’m tired of the rich not helping the poor, the rich helping themselves to what they didn’t work for, and the poor, in some cases but not all, not helping themselves.   I’m tired of hearing “because I am black, white or purple with pink polka dots.”  I’m tired of hearing that someone is too young to understand so their opinion doesn’t matter.  I’m tired of hearing that someone is too old to serve a purpose anymore so let’s just put them away in a home.

Why can’t we be more understanding, more compassionate, more loving?  Why can’t we live as “one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”?  Not everyone has to agree on everything, but we can certainly agree to disagree.  We can agree to put an end to all the hostility and hatred that is quickly dividing our country and our families.

We should not allow our differences to divide us any longer.  As I have heard many times, no matter what our differences may be, in the end our graves will all be the same size.   Let’s each be one of the wheels that gets our country back on track.
 
When we stop dividing, love will multiply.
