The Author's Corner: Us and Them

Why does society’s governments want us against each other? Why is there a need to be against each other? Why can we not see each other as equals?

These three questions are the base of what us and them is all about. The teaching of this separation starts almost as soon as we start to walk. Our parents teach that there is our way which is the us and then everyone else’s which is them. We are then thrusted into the school system and that in one way treats every child as equal, however this is where the us and them is more apparent. By the time we are able to think for ourselves and have finished school, we start our career’s and the us and them is more than it was in school.

In what is to happen is to see how we are left lost and wondering why we keep living like this. We are pinned against each other in a constant struggle of out doing each other. This is not a healthy way of life because the us and them seeps into our relationships with friends and family. It is like society wants us to be fighting each other.

The fact is the truth is that the more people who are fighting each other the easier it is to control the masses. If we were not so divided and fighting each other we would be able to achieve great things as the human race. However, that would affect those people who control the world making them to lose power over us.

We are at a point where we can make that change. We all have a mind and a direction that we are going in life, yet we need to come together as mankind and stand up to society’s leaders and take back what has been taking from us.

These few words are the ones the people who rule the world are afraid of. Breaking the separation and coming together to take our lives back. Can we live without a government? The answer is no, however what we can do is change the way the government operates. Will this change happen? That answer is most likely not as anyone who comes on to change and take control, the same thing will happen, the us and them. Until we can learn to see each other as equals with a common goal to live and thrive together, us and them will continue.

Stay safe.
