How long are we willing to keep looking at the differences between each other for the sake of disagreement, power and being right, whether it is easy to admit that we are doing that or not?
How long are we willing to pretend that things around us are not happening, when they are, because we don't want to admit our fears, vulnerability and recognize that we are not sure what to do about things, so that we can start to face what we need to face as a nation and in the world?
How long are we willing to turn away from the interconnectedness between things?
How long are we willing to fight the same battles over and over again from one place to the next, while the same money could feed the poor, educate the world and preserve the economy?
How long are we willing to keep seeing the problem as something separate from us?
How long are we willing to keep fighting battles that are centuries old?
How is that we have our federal taxes go to war, the infrastructure, and all the other things that it goes to that we consider to be necessary, but suddenly when it comes to feeding the poor or health care for all suddenly it is called socialism.
How long are we going to be willing to be barbarians with each other, what will it take to become civilized human beings that can respect and love each other on a global basis?
Those are some of my real questions.
This site is about metaphor in many forms to make you think more deeply about yourself and the life we are living in this moment in time.

well, i agree with some of your thoughts and questions but I personally try my best to avoid taht word "WE" because in some ways when you're speaking for everyone else who is doing the bad things it is doing the same thing they do. I do what I do and I am responsible for me, not we.
