We can live in fear and isolation or we can choose life. I have been thinking a lot about the current state of affairs and about what my role should be in stabilizing the current social upheaval. The current focus is on evil and on hate. The media and social media continue to blast us minute by minute with pictures and videos, articles and memes about how bad the world is and how evil people treat each other. This is especially emphasized by institutions such as the police an other established government and corporations with claims of racial institutionalism. News media and other social media influencers bombard us with us against them stories further dividing and creating a culture of hate and distrust. Maybe it is all necessary for change but what will be the end result, what is the goal? Will society be a better place or will the us against them mentality grow and further the competition versus cooperation theme. Not sure where this goes but the further isolation and fear of seeking dialogue is not healthy and can’t be sustained. So seek truth, search for good, do the right thing and do your part to make life better. Don’t participate in furthering the divide seek rather to find the humanity in all and improve your piece of this chaotic world by making your neighborhood better. This will be fixed in the micro not the macro. Institutions are us. Each large bureaucracy is manned by individuals people like all of us. It is us that fixes the broken them.
