Strength in numbers (#1137)

The only way to combat the divide and conquer mentality is for us to stay connected and keep our common resolve in the forefront. For reasons that are unfathomable to most humans, there are some humans who wish to build a world around their idea of reality. We must not allow them to do that to us. We are still the majority by far and to relent and let them to purposely change our reality to fit theirs is not worthy of our species. I cringe when I see or hear their calls for us to be less than what we are in order for us to sustain any type of decent society. It is absolutely ludicrous for the many of us to have to give more of what little we have in order for us to maintain the few advantages we have. All the while the few who bleat this unequal conformity are the very ones who have so much that they feel no loss of sacrifice in their process. It is astounding to me that humans who seek to destroy what gains our society has made over the generations are given positions of political and judicial power over us. We majority of many need to stick together in our current dilemma and at least satisfy ourselves on general goals of progress, not regression. We have many disparate ideas about our futures but for the most part our futures have progress in them and that should be our foundation in the least. Those few who have instigated a campaign to reverse the modern trend toward education and enlightenment are doing a disservice to our generation and the coming generations as well. Not even taking into account the ones who have sacrificed on the altar of hope and peace to improve the lot of those who would continue to carry the mantle of freedom. There are many of us who continue to sound the alarm against the tyranny of indifference, receding policies, fear and selfishness. But we all need to take the lead in denouncing, defending against, and discarding the backward ideas of the naturally illogical few into the dustbin of history.
