The World we know.

     Taking a look at the last week I have began to wonder what is going on in this country. When you listen to the news you would think you were living in another world. There's fighting on abortion, racism in the courts, the failure of Obama care, money being spent in asinine places in the government, and the Fed is pushing "everything's just fine" while buying worthless bonds. Building on the same premise to what brought us to where we are now. A trial that should have been left in the hands of the Jury, but was and is not. A man killed in Georgia that happen to be white and killed by 4 black youths for no reason and nothing. 

     This is my summation to all of this:  We live in a world of titles and subcategories. There is black, white, hispanic, asian and others, there is rich and middle class and poor. There are Baptist,  Church of God and a various amount of other ones. You know where I am going with this. We have become a world of groups and stereotypes. Maybe it is just me I see this all just complicates the situation. The more differences you draw between people the less likely you will ever close that gap of understanding. Religion has celebrated the comfort of togetherness, and then pushes it apart by groups. I can actually see in my everyday life that some religious groups will down right look down on you because you do not believe in their way, you somehow become a second class citizen. Religion was built on togetherness and love and now has been skewed by groups and beliefs that are not conducive to bringing people together. 

     Getting to the other subjects such as race, wealth and the other stereotypes. There is a reason why humans do this. That is for personal gain. You have a large amount people who prey on others for their own benefit. 

     As I get a year older today I remember what my Grandfather use to say to me as a child. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Respect their beliefs and opinions. But most of all love them for who they are.
