Friendly reminder that we've lived in an oligarchy for decades and the ruling class has effectively turned us against one another in an "almost even split" in order to control narratives, misinformation and distractions.
If you spend your time preoccupied about the ways other people are living, consider introspection. There is no "right" way to experience life, and excluding obvious things like causing intentional harm to others, there is likely no "wrong" way to do so either.
Love yourself, love your neighbor, even if you couldn't be more different. Make allowances for others. Show strangers a kindness that they may not have known otherwise. Do this well and see what unites is greater than what divides.
Most of our social division is a construct created by the groups actually worthy of your scrutiny: those with power, and those who would have you convinced otherwise.
And if you disagree, well, that's cool too, buddy. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
