Us vs. Them...Us & Them.

I didn’t completely understand the “Us vs Them…Us and Them” topic, so I’m going to hope I have the right idea.

Everybody likes to be the right person in any situation. People have stupid excuses that motivate them to keep to their point which causes terrible outcomes. The worst part is when disagreements end with death, and because people don’t think about both sides of the story.

People usually don’t think about what they say until after they have said it. People don’t see the consequences of their choice of words, or what the other person’s views are. I have heard so many stories about young adults who have committed suicide because of what other people have done to them over the internet, or any bullying in general. It makes me feel disgusted that we people act in this way, and then no one does anything to stop it. Others are losing loved ones because someone else wanted to have everything go their way. That should not be a reason why someone should lose their life.

A great example is the Crucible. I cannot stand reading that book knowing Abigail and the girls are ruining people’s lives to cover up what they did and for what they want, and everyone else is in lala land believing in witches. The sad thing is the higher power people are usually the wrong ones, so the good people are defeated.

When we have these books/novels that show us how we can act differently, we don’t change anything to make everything become better. There are still wars, suicides, arguments. Why can’t people understand the fact they won’t always have their own way, that other people can be right at some point? Even in drama, the girls don’t like admitting that they are wrong, but is it worth being right then losing a friendship?
