Forget Unity! It'll Never Happen!

I believe the event that happened on 1/6/2021 at the Capitol Hill has further divided us as a nation. At this point it doesn't matter if you support Trump or not or even being neutral. You have chosen a side. No one knows for sure who's right and who's wrong. There are too many speculations combined with imaginations and facts. This is similar to a couple's fight that oftentimes we just can't determine the rights and wrongs. We are not even arguing the same thing anymore. Both parties will end up losing the battle if the fight continues. In most cases, both should take some responsibilities and self-reflect on what we could have done better to prevent this from happening again. In order to move pass this, we have to come to the realization of what's more important to us, winning an argument or our relationships. The division will always exist if we don't realize this because we will always have our differences, such as the way we look and think. We need to accept this as our reality and instead of hating each other due to these differences we ought to embrace them as uniquenesses so we can learn from each other and see the world through these wonderful unique lenses. Only when we can cherish these uniquenesses will we unit the world. 

Additionally, we need to focus more on the similarities in us instead of differences. As long as we only see disparities, we will continue to disagree with each other. As long as we continue to call ourselves Americans, Chinese, Mexicans, Republicans, Democrats, White, Asian, Black, etc,  we will never see the similarities in us. I suggest we look beyond our appearances, culture, religious beliefs, political parties, etc. Let’s see ourselves as human beings. We all have a body, mind, and soul. I believe we were all created equal with one thing we all have in common, the ability to love unconditionally. We may not all seem that way but deep down we are all capable of loving someone or something unconditionally. Once we understand this, we will be able to forgive and have compassions towards one another and live among each other with peace and harmony. Otherwise, history will indeed repeat itself that we will be torn apart in pieces and lives will be lost. This is too familiar to us because we have been here many times and the results have never changed. It's absolutely insane to repeat the same mistake again and again. 

Thus, let us all turn to love for answers to unite the world! And the first step is to hug our families and friends who have disagreed with us on our views and see the world through their eyes. Ask them to forgive us and tell them how much we love them regardless of our uniquenesses. Together we will be united as ONE!
