There are some pretty uncanny forces at work to separate us.

They’re doing a good job. Opening Twitter is like taking the lit from a can of worms. Outrage and blame roam the streets like Robocop with a bad temper.

A deep divide runs through our societies.

Well, you must know what I’m talking about. It’s all over the place, especially on anti-social media.

The grand canyon of misunderstanding.

System change is coming and this means old structures are dying. Its the story of the caterpillar and the butterfly. The process of letting go brings a lot of insecurity and unsafety. These periods are characterized by:

• Less tolerance
• We are more vulnerable to manipulation through the use of mass-fear
• Looking for a scapegoat.

We’re seeing all of this playing out right in front of us.

My message is: Give each other a break. This is how.
