Divide to conquer, and then divide to rule. This has been played out on so many occassions that I, like you, wonder why people continue to fall for the same bullshit.

There are 6 billion or so people on this planet, each with their own opinions and judgements which they essentially believe to be right. But how can any of us be 100% right - if one of us actually is, then the other 6 billion or so must then be wrong?

It frustrates me that we don't focus on our similarities such as wanting a safe and comfortable life where we are given time and support to explore our separate interests and talents for the benefit of each other.

That's exactly what I don't get. Doesn't everyone want to just enjoy what little time we have on this earth. Why spend it fighting one another and attacking one another? We're all gonna day. So let's make our time worth it.

No, not really. There are people out there far more focused on denying other people something they feel is wrong for those people to have, than on pursuing their own happiness. People are not at all reasonable. They are not rational. Presuming they are, and that they'll be happy to leave each other alone is folly.
