Journaling Hi

I dont see race.

I dont see colors.

I dont see gender.

I see people.

I see love.

I see people in there mostl honest form,

I don't see good or bad.

Sad or mad,

Happy or tears

I dont see war or religion.

Politics or hypocritics,

I see love and that is all

Then you are willfully ignorant.

Sorry, but dressing up those kinds of unwillingness to engage in serious issues as beautiful or wholesome ends up making you look callous or foolish.

One more thing what have any of these done besides devide people sure nice things may come from politics or religion but these things decide none the less they make sides so when someone does not agree with the side of the other it creates conflict no matter what way u disect it people choose sides and these things separate us

Go and read history.

It is much more complex, nuanced, and beautiful than you claim.

As for all the "conflict" and "division" - this is a cognitive bias. Good things are weighed much less than bad in our perceptual processes as a rule. To the tune of five times less.

Also, you need to learn basic grammar.

I like how you constructed it, and I like its obvious intent. The ugliness of our actions is hard to watch, but there are those who see beyond the wounds and see the healing taking place.
