A bigger picture

I've been wanting to write for a few days now, I've been listening a lot to interviews on Red Ice Radio and reading the odd blog here and there but have found that I can't think of a topic to write about. There are so many people out there that are far more eloquent with words than I am and can tell you more about a topic than I can.

What I find interesting the most is seeing how people are on many different levels, there are many conspiracy theorists (for lack of a better description) who you can tell can see the whole picture and can link things together and then I see others who have just started their journey and have not yet learned to look further along the roots of a topic, which makes me smile to know that some day that great realisation will hit them and they will learn there's so much more.

I find that that is something many people in the world are unable to do, I'm guilty of this myself and will have gut reactions to things without thinking the facts through. But so often I see people reacting to something they might have heard or read without looking at the full story and the history behind the story that has lead up to these events.
It is getting better in some places and hopefully will expand more and more.

I do have something to write about now, why is that so many people will fight and argue over such small unimportant things? I understand that such issues are important to them but...and not to get myself in any trouble here, there are some people who consider themselves to be righteous and close to 'god' who spread so much hate towards others who's only crime is loving someone these people say they shouldn't. I'm not going to argue with anyone about this issue if anyone flames me, I really just wont because there are better things I could be using my time for.

We can be really cruel to each other sometimes. Hatred of tiny differences can be easily moulded by those who wish to control us, in to fear and manipulated in to anger (sounds close to something from Star wars ^^ ), nothing good comes from it, from causing each other such pain. I understand that everyone has a right to their own beliefs and rights to say and do what they want...but I believe that if any of what you do hurts someone else, then it's wrong.
I know we're a little past new years but perhaps a good new years resolution for us all to try is 'To love more and hate less'.
