Yesterday, I was at a party when I noticed something interesting. Everyone in attendance held a certain belief.
Now, this isn't, in itself, what is wrong with the situation.
The real problem lies in the fact that everyone invited held a certain side in a relatively large argument. The more saddening part? This argument happened almost two years ago now.
Which brings me to the fact that wounds take a long time to heal. One would expect that adults could learn to forgive. Clearly, it is not human nature to do so.
To be fair, I'm sure that the flip side has happened, that the other "side" has had the same things as well. That doesn't make it right. For everyone. This only divides further, and, if it continues, will create a neverending cycle downwards.
In short... the healing process has stalled. Or hasn't begun. People from all over will point to others as the reasons behind this failure to reunite... but everyone is to blame.
That's not to say that things should be swept under the rug. But we don't have to yell.
As for the party, it was a ton of fun hanging out with the other children (who, I suppose, are quite innocent from this mess), but that didn't mean that this lingered on the back of my mind.
