OPINION:
In late 2020, we Americans have found our first common rallying point since 2016: priority vaccination of health-care workers. In this, we all believe. In all other regards, however, we live in a cesspool of unnatural division.
How can a people who have so much be so dissatisfied with each other? This holds true in our friendships, our marriages, our employment and yes, our governments and political parties. The rest of the world must feel nothing but pity for us. As a people, we have regressed so far that we now have very little in common except greed, lust, animosity, consumption and ignorance. That isn’t much on which to build a common ground.
At the same time that our homes, houses of worship, schools and work places preach love, forgiveness, friendliness and faithful effort, our public places are demonstrating exactly the opposite — every kind of violent mentality, self-destructive behavior, distrust and irresponsibility. We are incredible hypocrites.
