The scarier the world gets the more we want to isolate and protect ourselves from it by any means we can. We surrourd ourselves with like minded people to feel safe. We make rules that define how we should be together, define our boundaries, tightening our security, and in so doing we create a world of us and them.
The scarier the world gets the more polarized we become, but now more than ever we have to resist the self protective urge to seperate ourselves from the struggle of our fellow human beings. We are interconnected, interdependent; it is our struggle too, and without each other we are powerless. We cannot give in to the feeling that we can't make a difference because that hoplessness will be the end of us all.
