How should we go about trying to bring people back together?

Politicians have us blaming each other for every problem under the sun. Businesses have is trying to outclass and outcompete each other, driving atmospheres of envy and possessiveness. How do we get to a point of learning that we are all one species on one planet? How do we get to a point where people can once again believe that their neighbor can be and is a good person?

How do we let go of the fear?

We have to start with ourselves, know that where there is one with this mindset, there are others, Don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. Everyday I do my gratitude check to reinforce my lack of fear and ability to be a strength for others.

Glad there are people who think like you do my friend!...In the end, truth and love finds it's way!馃槣

[b]By following the Two Commandments of civilization:

1) Thou shalt not impose thyself upon another by any means of force whatsoever.

2) Thou shalt not defraud or in any other manner coerce another by any means whatsoever.

Follow those two rules and no other form of government is necessary. Violate them and no amount of government will ever be sufficient.


It all starts by the universal cessation of telling other people how to live. If you want to get along with your neighbor, leave him/her alone. Respect his her right to his/her person and, more often than not, s/he will respect yours.[/b]

@Theseus so you support Anarchism?

@wildbill83 [quote]lol... that didn't work out so well during the reigns of the Greeks, Romans, Mongols, English, Russians, Imperial Japan, French & Spanish colonization, etc.

Please note that I did NOT say that this was a new or even solvable problem. The OP wanted to know how we could transcend all the divisiveness. I provided an answer.

Given human nature, though, we both know that, short of Divine intervention, this problem [b][i]has no solution.[/i][/b].

@ViciDraco Not exactly. In lieu of the [b]direct[/b] reign of Almight God (something Christians pray for every time they recite the Lord's prayer), I am an anarcho-libertarian. Anarcho-libertarians recognize the need for government, but only the barest minimum necessary.

For one, you could stop spreading fear. You're just setting up the politicians and businesses as the ones to be feared. You're moving the target, but playing the same game.

@Sicarium you have a point. Politics, religion, and material goods are generally what people fight over. It's not so much politicians as people that need to be feared. It is the methods of persuasion that are employed by advocates of said groups that need to be considered.
@Sicarium How would You go about bringing ppl togther?
