Picking sides

We are divided into camps
Left or right
In or out
For or against
Black or white
Hate or love
Yes or no
My way or the highway
Fit in or…
Picking sides

Battling each other
There are no winners
We are all on the same side
We are all human
Choose each other
Be love
Be joy
Be kind
Be one
Be awake
Be conscious

They manipulate our minds
They make us choose
They make us judge
We form opinions of us and them
Divided we fall
Picking sides separates us
Love keeps us together

Measurement

If we do not compare and have a system to measure against others how does our ego know whether we are better or not?

Imagine what a world would be like if we did not measure ourselves against others. A society where we did not use a score, a measure, a test…sort humans out against each other like lining up sticks of different shapes or lengths.

Perhaps we do not have to imagine it, we could try it.
