The Dividing Line Has a Price to Pay, Either Way!

As we all know, that there are two sides to every story and plenty of varying opinions.

After watching this year’s panorama contest it was very apparent that plenty of the pan players were young people of both sexes. Hence the thought in most circles that there are some contributing young people in our society. Yet, parallel to that, we can equally say there are quite a number of young people involved in criminality.

So, we are devided between the two segments of youth evolution that remain both negative and positive.

The difference is also in the homes, when couples are intertwined and love is supposed to bind them to a certain continuity  and fulfillment of their family life together — and if that connection shatters, then all Hell breaks loose.

If and when they separate and the children are left to only see one side of the coin, taking sides and disliking or hating one of the deserting parties becomes like normal.

Politically, it’s the same thing: one set wants to see progress while the other tries desperately to dismantle the structure.

In the churches, in the workplace, in the community, there is just too-much tug-of-war. People are always trying to pull each-other down, harmony is so difficult to achieve, having a positive outlook is hardly a national concern and those who are positive are constantly being criticized by those who think differently.

These is no common right, no constant truth, no national purpose or objective thinking, the fragmentation is just so great.

Nobody wants to give positivity a chance, every body thinks of what is in it for them, in what way can they profit or benefit and if they cannot see any total benefit to themselves they will destroy any meaningful structure because we just like to oppose.

The more the state tries to build or set things in motion for the benefit of the many, there are always those that feel the need to criticize and fight down, or denounce the input of others.

We cannot grow divided, we cannot develop with some going right and others going left. There must be a system of enforcement, there must always be rules and laws, and anytime they are transgressed, somebody or persons must be made to pay, one way or other.

We have to start blaming ourselves for the devided society that we have created.

The encouragement must be for all and not only for some, and when some choose to destroy or create unnecessary stress or lawlessness, they must be held responsible and suffer the consequences.

We cannot  favour some and say ‘Poor Jab’ for others.

Right is right and wrong is wrong — and there is always a price to pay, either way.
