Not really a point to this post, just trying to bring us together.

The creation of flesh and blood is a tale of perfection met through insurmountable odds. 200 septillion planets in the visible universe, and yet as far as we know, we're alone, a rarity. We're all human, and yet, instead of focusing on our commonality, we focus on what divides us - religion (or lack thereof), creed, sex, gender, orientation, race, nationality, ideology... We've fought wars all over the world because of these, all over what we see in ourselves and what we hate in each other. But tell me... Is preservation of all human kind, despite our differences, a reward not worth the effort? I believe it to be very worth the effort. We're an inherently interesting species, and the fact that we fight among each other rather than building a utopian global village where we can all thrive and grow makes me feel like we truly have no hope at times. Politicians (yes, even your beloved Donald Trumps and Joe Bidens, absolutely no one is infallible) are the only people who benefit from this divide, yet we put more hope in them to lead about the change we want to see more than ever, promoting tribalism and homogeneity, which only further cracks our faultline.
