THEY = WE

[beldarzfixon]

THEY = WE

In the simplest terms, this is a principle for any matter of politics, or society, or faith. It expresses a radical idea only gaining widespread acceptance in the late 20th century: that all members of the human race, any color or origin, are the exact same species.

This runs counter to thousands of years of accepted wisdom. From the time

I agree all lives matter. they = we is a very good way to express this.

I don't want this confused with the "All lives matter" that is used as a dodge to avoid issues of inequality. To live this version of ALM is not easy, we all fall short at times

This was great...so true. The us vs. them mentality is rampant. Sigh.

I agree it's a good start! Very well written!

It is a good start, and I like this approach. It's too easy, especially with the rise of the internet, for us to other people that may be different from us, whether that is by skin color, ideology, or anything else. I felt like, for a time, the world was moving away from tribalism, only to take back up the tribalism flag with gusto. If we could all live our lives really cognizant of those around us, we might all be in a better place.

Here’s to the rare simple sentiment that’s also true. I wish it were easier to be clear eyed about it.
