| Sides

• 1.

  Most human beings appear to favour one side or another. Whether it is conservative or liberal; alternative or mainstream; young or old; christian including catholic or protestant, islamic including sunni or shiite, jewish, hindu, mormon, jehovah witnesses and so on; or race whether black, white, asian and so on; or nationality including region or dialect; or one culture compared to another culture; or a particular gender and the view of the other gender; or rich or poor; or education or lack of; or professional status, management and workers; northerners and southerners, easterners and westerners, and so much more. All of these sides are upheld and driven by biased, emotional responses rather than by truth. Such biases continue to keep much of humanity divided, which perversely also seems to suit those in power. Divide and conquer has been used by the powerful throughout the ages. If we continue to be driven by our biased emotional responses, whilst firmly holding to one side, rather than being prepared to examine the truth, which is usually above sides, then we will continue to create division, upset and wars on Earth.
