Polarized Viewpoints Quotes

“Think for yourself. Ignore the noises around you that polarize and try to promote fear and division. You know better. Be better. Breathe.”

“Society, because it is composed of living humans, is organic and if healthy, supple. It is like a rubber band. As long as the groups that compose society are flexible and social and emotionally supporting, it serves its constituency well. It bends, weaves, twists, turns, and envelops everyone in diverse manners. If opposing forces become too locked into their polarized viewpoints, though, other things happen.

Like two grumpy siblings, they hold their views with anger or self-righteousness and utter vulgar and crass words, but it amounts to the same thing. The two groups pull on the rubber band and rigidly hold to their position without empathy.

The rubber band (society) grows taut and then eventually it snaps and collateral damage ensues and the proverbial baby is thrown out with the bath water.”
― Leviak B. Kelly, Religion: The Ultimate STD: Living a Spiritual Life without Dogmatics or Cultural Destruction

“I feared for my very safety should I voice a preference for either side, such was the vehemence with which their respective beliefs were held. The gentle courtship of my vote was fast becoming a betrothal by force.”
― Daniel Thorman, Calamity at Conclave
