I've thought, for most of my life, that there is an enemy. This was part of my upbringing, and I'm sure many other's as well. Whatever caused this, it doesn't matter now. When I first heard of "Tribal Mentality", A.K.A. "Us vs. Them", my first reaction was that it was the enemy. Realization struck when I noticed that I just showed an example of it. I was against the "Tribal Mentality." At first, this came without thought, but before I justified it, I thought, "What if I was against nothing?" This may seem silly at first, as there are many causes which don't seem to be justified by most of society's standards. Take racism, for example, although it does not fit my "moral standard", people who are racist are people too. They make enemies with other people from other races. Then, in response, we make enemies with them. Why can't we all just not have enemies? For me, this is easily answered, as we have different "moral standards", as I demonstrated before. For the most part, as humans (and maybe even other species), we don't like differences. Even as I type this, I am beginning to make enemies with the state of society. I don't wish to do this, but my brain can't do anything else! I'm beginning to wish that this thought never came to mind, but it did. ALL life should be valued, but I'm not against you if you disagree. Hopefully in the future I will be more empathetic with people. I don't know where I was going with this any more, as the fallacy appears inescapable.
