Picking sides

Why do I have to pick a side. I agree with some things that someone says but trust me I also disagree with some things they say. I don’t think anyone can always be right, there is no such things as always when your talking about people or situations or disagreements. But just because someone may “pick a side” I don’t think it’s a good idea to support whatever that side says even when it’s wrong, but we decide to go with it because that’s our favorite side.

Sides

People who appear compelled to stand up for something apparently think that means they need to take sides, but that is a limited perspective and an incomplete analysis. There are no sides to the human form, to the human race, to our home planet, or to the universe, for that matter. 

Further, everyone should contribute to the great conversation of humanity and should be considered within it, whether actively participating or not. Likewise, any discussion at a macro scale (at least) should be based upon that underlying premise. 

Sociocultural stances, media headlines, celebrity soundbites, and political debates that are divisive, mean-spirited and accusatory should not be accepted as normal and inexorable, especially those pretending to be in the spirit of tolerance, inclusion and progress.

Any honest, thorough and valuable examination of the complex issues facing humanity must include all perspectives - left, right and otherwise. Those with a more conservative viewpoint tending to value tradition and stability must be heard, as should those liberal voices who focus on change and progress, in addition to those not clearly aligning with either camp. Eliminate any perspectives, and catastrophe ensues.

In the spirit of Burning Man, let’s practice a little radical inclusion, because there are no sides to a whole.

When two of your good friends severely dislike each other but you love them both... In a perfect world everyone would get along and be happy, but not everything can be perfect. The type of person I am I like everyone unless someone does something specifically to me. All I ask is that no one ever asks me to choose a side between two people that I'm friends with and in return I will never ask anyone else to do that for me. This type of thing has been going around a lot lately so I just wanted to share my opinion on it so that everyone knows where I stand. #neutralparty #ImSwitzerland #Iloveyouboth #Iloveeveryone #nosides
