A Contentious World

“It's our tendency to approach every problem as if it were a fight between two sides. We see it in headlines that are always using metaphors for war. It's a general atmosphere of animosity and contention that has taken over our public discourse.” - Deborah Tannen

Turn on the Tv, listen to the Radio, talk amongst your peers. Little by little with the temporal principle of small and simple things, has contention not only continued yet increased amongst the World today. We cannot be forced to be one, we must seek to be one. Contention forces a society to divide then then forced as one with no other choice left, yet a controlled "one".

This quote above depicts exactly what is going on in our World view today. From our own media in the USA such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Larry King, The Democratic Party, The Republican Party, and many more sources in the media. As contention arises viewing and numbers rise, which ultimately increases the amount of money into the pocket of those that are being listened too. It is very important to have a knowledge of our country and other countries and kingdoms as to have basic knowledge of what is going on in our World.

The B Side To the Truth is to avoid contention at all costs. Contention will only raise temper and anger which leads to irrational thinking and decision making. It then turns to a grudge and eliminates 100% the ability to decipher right or wrong. It becomes a matter of winning then, and not truth. Division causes war, so know what side you are on? And the side that will always prevail is truth. Truth will never be found in noise.
