We have a stong "us against them" mentality cultivated in our culture. Where does this divisiveness, this seperation of what is essentially "us" into "us and them" come from? Maybe it really doesn't matter where it comes from. Maybe the question should be why do we or why have we kept it going for so long?
I know one thing for sure. Looking at the entire universe we, meaning all inhabitants of the Earth, are most definately an "us" because as far as we know we are the only ones here. There is no such thing as "them". Maybe we need to teach our kids that.
