That may be so. I can't say for sure that it isn't.

But it kind of depresses me to see people endlessly nattering away at each other here, that's all, each of them so certain he is right and that the other is deluded.

As I've said before: "politics is the Great Divider"

It sets people against one another who would otherwise get along just fine.

Secondarily to that, most organized religion becomes a Great Divider too...but I don't think that's the fault of religion itself so much as it is the fault of people's insatiable desire to be "right" at the expense of anyone else who thinks differently from themselves.

Both religion and politics give them a particularly fertile and mentally engrossing field of subjective beliefs for engaging in that sort of competitive mental habit of enhancing their own sense of rightness by attacking someone else's.

I'm not focusing on anyone in particular here in what I say...I'm just expressing sadness at the general condition of humanity which is, as I've said below....they want to talk, all right, but they don't want to listen. That's because talking reinforces their sense of identity. Listening would diminish it...or so they think.
