Chances are no one will read this first post for a very long time, considering I have no actual connections as of yet. Hopefully as the days go on that will change and I will get readers (hopefully they may even like what they read). In light of that possible eventuality, its my intent to make this first post a sort of mission statement.
I want this blog to be, in the most part, a place where I and the readers try to bridge certain gaps that exist in the world. I want us to realize that no matter how far apart our ideologies may be, if we dig far enough we can find common ground. I am not naive enough to say that it will be easy, nor am I optimistic enough to say that talking solves all issues. Those statements in and of themselves may quite possibly make gaps between people who may stumble across this, but such is life.
My hopes for finding this common ground is that we can find ways to move forward together with a sort of grudging respect as opposed to the us and them mentality that seems prevalent in our world these days. They only way for us to move together as a world, or a nation, or a city, or even a family, is to find ways to work together. I want to help us find those ways to work together, and thus is the purpose of my blog, to build up each other and find ways to advance towards our dreams together.
I can tell, just by reading that post, that I'm probably going to fail. But one must keep in mind, we are all human, and regardless of your thoughts on humanity you all know that we make mistakes, we fall short of our dreams. Its the bits that happen after that, that we may differ on, like whether or not one can get up from certain errors on their own, or whether we should extend every effort we can to get them up. It happens, we disagree. Don't deny that, cause if you do, your disagreeing with me. Gad's such logic is most useful, but hopefully it won't have a place in this blog except for my occasional jibe.
Since I seem unable to marshal my thoughts, lets have a recap.
What am I doing: Trying to get people from all sides of every issues to find ways to work together. OR Helping people get along.
Why am I doing it: I feel that all humans are worth the time it takes to help them. Regardless of the belief, race or colour.
How will I fall short: I am human, and prone to folly. I will have opinions, as will any readers, and in some cases, the voids between to side will be to wide for me to gap.
So now I shall begin... more or less.
