The Politics of Race & Religion

Lots to say... just not today.

I would love to collect all of my thoughts, sort them, and post them here. When I was younger, when I first interacted with who I will call my mentor, I thought of myself as a fence sitter. It felt "safe". I would not take sides as I didn't know the answer to any particular question in life. I could look at a problem and see both sides. I could see cause and effect. I was ridiculed for this, but I no longer remember exactly how I was ridiculed in this moment.

What I did often do is take an opposing stance. I often polarised to whatever was pushed. I would often fight for the underdog. Now that I am older, I understand so much more about life. However, on the same token I currently feel like I have lost much of the former mental capabilities that I had had when I was younger. Perhaps I just have not healed enough, nor found enough proper stable balance to come into tune with myself.

I just want to leave a page here for now. A page stating that I am a bit of a pendulum. I will drift back and forth through different extremes in looking for answers. I am even sway-able for a time. I can be influenced and pulled into a thought pattern here, or a thought pattern there. None of them are really right. None of them are really wrong. It's just a process in the search for the truth.

I do not "hate" anyone. I was wisely taught not to "hate". It is very unhealthy to "hate". To dislike, now that is Ok.

I can identify any particular race or religion and find an oppositing stance. I don't know what to use for an example. The other night I met a Chinese girl. I thought how can I ever have any dislike for the Chinese. She's a such a nice girl. I have thought the same towards Chinese males. However, if I go out in public and I find myself too saturated with Asians, I might tilt into a dislike. I had a Chinese girlfriend in the past who absolutely *hated* the Chinese. It was interesting.

I can say the same with Muslims. I associate with people and politics that can be outwardly anti-Muslim. However, the truth is that I find reasons to respect Muslims. With me, it is both. It is both sides. I had words I wanted to leave here, but it does boil down to the individual and something else. Perhaps something else external to both the individual in question, and the self. Perhaps that is the environmental tally. The amount of saturation experienced.

I just wanted to say something to this regard. I am not sure how to organize anything at the moment. I am almost tempted to point out the Trinity of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They are a Trinity it seems. I just do not want to push as my belief without the clarity of the idea that everything simply a theory. A theory in an exploration of the truth. Within this particular theory there is a potential view that even the Yin and Yang fits into this rather neatly.

The light, the dark, and the common blood of the middle ground.

Maybe another time I will spell this out clearer before the concept is lost and I have moved on.
