I would give everything to you if I thought it would make any difference. You can have it all, I’ve held on to it long enough. But what would you do with it? Would you piss it away, day after day in self pity through self loathing? Would you continue to walk around with that mirror, facing everyone but yourself? Imposing your self righteous judgment, showing them all their imperfections while hiding behind, unexposed, weak, afraid. Afraid of what you have to offer. Afraid of taking responsibility for your part in all this. Your false narrative is one I have heard before, even taken part in. Your judgment and moral superiority are as hollow as the eyes of the mob you follow. Your own hypocrisy will turn on you one day. Your divisiveness, anger, hate will silence you. Your self imposed group identity will destroy you- the individual. But that is all OK because you will always find someone else to blame.
I admit now I was wrong, there is understanding in me, but I hold true to the fact I have little sympathy for your uncivil discourse.
Stay then, with the others, if that’s what it takes to get you through your day. If not, then you are welcome to put it all down and walk with me. I will love you but nothing will be spared.
Kicking and screaming, we strip away the dependence to label and categorize. When everything is no longer anything, it just is, as it will be. Neither for or against you. You will breathe a sigh of relief at the unrecognizable. Differences erode and with enough time, finally, there will be nothing left to set aside.
Then what will you do with all your time?

One day, perhaps, a new breed of humanity will evolve without any concept of difference in a negative way, merely celebratory.
We can hope.

I have hope. I believe most people have good intentions, they just take those intentions too far and tend to warp into the very thing they oppose.

I believe most people are just greedy and only look out for themselves. Self-preservation over good intentions.

That is certainly a valid perspective and one that is difficult to argue against.
