Us vs. Them... Us and Them

Absolutely no idea what this blog is supposed to be about, so here goes nothing.

As you go through life there are always going to be groups. Whether they're social, racial, sports, religion, or what ever they might be, they will exist forever until the world becomes one. However, I don't see this happening in my life time, but what I do see in my future is a lot of "Us vs. Them."  Today all around the world their are fights between groups that have gone on for hundreds of years.  For example, the Shiite and Sunni Muslim groups have been fighting for a long time and it seems as if there is no end in sight.  Religion is a major group difference and it doesn't just happen in Muslim culture it happens in the majority of religious groups.

The main problem with group differences is that they just follow the same views as the generation before them so really the same war is being fought hundreds of times.  If you look at some of the main problems different groups have there aren't a lot of new problems that come up  most of the problems have occurred for many years.  In order to move from "Us vs. Them" to "Us and Them" we have to set our differences aside and solve our disputed problems and agree to disagree on somethings. 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that in order for world peace or "Us and Them" different groups have to look at what they are really fighting for.  Is the reason that important to be killing over?  As soon as one group looks at the bigger picture and realizes, in a hundred years they have made no progress.  This is a good sign that maybe that battle is never going to be one and from the beginning there was never going to be a winner.  The point I'm really trying to make is that when people see that in order to survive we rely on the good of humanity as a whole, world peace could become a possibility.  For example, when you are alone the chance of you surviving by yourself is much lower than if you had a companion, if you were stranded on an island. However, if you have a companion you are more likely to survive (Tom Hanks and Wilson in Castaway).
