Default Re: The purpose of societal systems

What I meant is, we should focus on the real people, not abstract ideas.

Please, stop labeling me. I'm not a Libertarian or Socialist or Democrat or Republican. I'm not Left. I'm not Right. I'm me, just one person.

Ideology is one of the things I think is wrong with the world. We divide ourselves down these imaginary lines, when in reality, most people want the same things. We want what is best for ourselves and our fellow man, but disagree on how to get there. Many feel they can add validity to their opinion by identifying with one particular ideology to the exclusion of everything else. I am not one of those people.
For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
