Don’t wedge the crack

It is important to note and revisit my interactions with others. I fin it interesting to gauge how topics are brought up how long we stay on them measured internally with how much effort I am applying to stay on specific topics I want to sense the flow of conversation and understand why we are so keen to dwell.

As you can imagine, right now that conversation is about partisanship. We are in a failing marriage & the usa is coming closer to a divorce and its kids are worried listening, talking and tweeting. Our support system is fighting and we link this topic to our entire reality; we are are deeply impacted by the determination of our parents and the Shrek-like clash is ripe for virality because of the nature of how we share information. We spread our thoughts with the people that we think are going to resonate with our sentiment. So in the case of the political clash we are faced with the mischievous process of self funneling information. We are in a blender of information. We all try and turn the mix of emotions and actions into a smooth narrative that we then gulp down and share the recipe.

Everyone knows about the silos of information(I hope), but not many people are able to deal with it rationally.

I hope to convey my stance well, but it is an uncommon one, so hang with me. I don’t look at any news that is government related. That is unless it is sent my way(hence my first paragraph). This does not mean I do not are about government, it only means that I am going to keep my sanity and work towards a place of influence before I try to contend with every-person with an opinion. When the topic comes up, I end up agreeing with many agreeable ideas and contest only the cloudy ones. Now, note that I have plenty of conversations with both sides-regularly, and I can confidently say I agree with 70% of each side. If we are assuming that I have a complete even keel outlook(I believe I am close) then that means that the majority of us have more than enough in common to find a middle ground.

The system and the battle makes us all completely misguided. Its actually fucked. We are here to build each-other up, we are here to be on the same team and make it a winning one. I was the glue guy for all of my sports teams growing up, and its about keeping peoples mind on the task at hand, understanding that intentions, attitude and effort determine which groups of people become “successful”. Our dysfunctional, outdated, central governor is in dire need of a Glue Party.

I don’t want there to be a civil war. I know I am delusional to think America is past any violent civil conflict, but I feel there is enough merit for every side to live a life of freedom and natural liberties.

People are tired, and honestly the thought of covid among at the unrest is putting a dent on the lives of good intentioned people. Humans feel the days slipping by and ticking off as if no time is moving at all. Sounds terrifying. And makes me sad to think how much of my life has been spent in a lockdown. 2.1%. and that number is growing. We have passions to find, Love to find, and ourselves to find.

We need to support one another we cannot spin our wheels and live in a world outdated by globalization.

The world has changed, we need to too.

Love,
