It’s been the same through the ages, America has divided itself. The right and the left. They are arch enemies, out to destroy one another.
Like the ancient philosophies of Buddhism, we must realize that America needs both sides, there is a balance, a Yin and Yang. One without the other becomes too powerful, choking out its counterpart. Just because an individual prefers yin over yang should not obligate them to take the yang from the person that needs it.
Yet today we villainize the other side, condemning it beyond recovery. By no means do I deny that either side has its massive downfalls, but we must realize that true progress cannot occur in a country divided as we are.
America claims to be the land of the free, but yet here we are entrapping ourselves within labels and groups which shackle us to the conflict. We will not see the dawn of progress until the minds of the people realize their error and start a dialogue amongst each other.
