With a show of hands - how many of you think that there can be peace in the Middle East with an abnormally, huge amount of human effort?
Diving intervention aside which I totally think could change human history, it is not going to happen, Thousands of years of hatred and fighting will never dissolve with all parties holding hands and sitting around singing Kumbaya. That kind of intense, entrenced emotion that causes people to base their values on self-destructive behavior - can not be argued away, not in a million years.
Now, lets take it down a notch - race and culture in our neck of the woods. We all have strong beliefs based on our experiences. Today if you express those emotions in public, you go to Rehab. Gay Rehab, Black Rehab, Hispanic Rehab, Muslim Rehab - take your pick. I'm not sure but it appears to be some form of concentrated 21 day Change a Habit type of therapy. If you are successful, you are not heard of again. If you are not, well, just ask Britney Spears.
Rehab has never saved anyone. It has been the first stop for many but never the cureall. We can and do mask but masking is short-term motivation. We will onlyresolve and promote change, one by one. Relationship by relationship. Never on a mass production level, These issues run deep and strong. When we make comments that could place us in whatever rehab, they are honest and true. The place that they come from is where they will need to be convinced, for change to be lasting.
We each face our own human limitations but we never quit trying to push the envelope to being more than we are. As we move thru this life, be yourself, make your own way and do your thing. We are all here for a reason, whether we can see it or not...
