I agree with you Angela, on the perspective that this debate of taking sides is a major factor in what's robbing the earth of peace, I think it comes to this summarization, however incomplete, I don't want to just cause another debate heh... :

Some genious found truth, shared it, as others who didn't bother finding it knew it was credible, took it as their own, and used the leverage of being right to promote their own agendas, this spawned a force to counter that, bring balance on earth, they countered by equally disagreeing, now both sides aren't following the truth, they are pulling away from each other, thinking it is a game of tug-o-war, if one side can pull the other into the pit, they can stop and play in the truth, but not enough people realize they will be equally at peace, to humbly lose the competition.

Somewhat pessimistic and sarcastic, hopefully you got the pointer though. Thanks for the replies, I feel I've found some common ground.

I quote Einstein possibly too often, but I find his statements entertaining. "There are two ways to live: as if everything is a miracle, or nothing is a miracle." (Paraphrased), At some point the miracle thinkers, exclaimed they were right, and this caused the non-miracle thinkers to freak, so to counteract the other, they exclaimed in return, "Life is without meaning!"

So.. how do we dismantle this conundrum? Can it be done? Would it just require one side to stop making exclamations? This whole idea has been on my mind these past few days, rather frustrating, both sides are understandable from the crossroad I stand at, I just wish we could bridge the two, and carry on.

I could keep bringing up examples of where I've seen this recently.. but I rest for now.
