Don't be Controlled

Those who like to instigate social discord, are at work on social media (and the news media). Some of them are based in hostile foreign countries. Others, use the continuous fighting to gain power, without ever having to use logic. The continued dive into injustices of the past that none of us were originally here for, and that there are no great fixes for, seems less productive than if we focus on how we can unite and make things better in the present. If you and your best friend ONLY talk about the time that you wronged each other, you probably will not be best friends for very long. Stop allowing others to control you. All I need to do is look around, to see people of different races and backgrounds interacting with each other in positive ways. Some are friends, some are mixed race families, some are neighbors and some are just people being people. If you focus on the negative, you become a pawn of someone else's malevolence. If you choose to be positive and see the progress, you both strip the power of those who mean us harm, and you become a positive force.
