Bron's TOPic: Week 1

Me and Bron have decided to start a tradition for my blog. It's called "Bron's TOPic." Every week, Bron will pick a topic and I'll write about it.
Since I'm all about first impressions, I'm going to start this off with a really serious topic. NATIONAL UNITY.


I have one question for everybody. WHY DOES IT TAKE A NATIONAL TRAGEDY TO BRING US TOGETHER? I mean, EVERYWHERE, AT EVERY GIVEN TIME, PEOPLE HATE EACH OTHER. THE SAD TRUTH IS MORE PEOPLE HATE, THAN LOVE IN OUR COUNTRY. I know that I'm not the world's biggest surveyor and I don't know everything. But I do know that before 9/11 and Katrina, everybody was mad at somebody. Then when stuff hits the fan, people start to realize how truly good we have it. People realize how lucky we are that we get to go home everynight, say "hello honey. How was your day? I LOVE YOU." We all need to quit wasting time hating this person, and that person, and blaming this person and that person, and just APPRECIATE that we are the most diverse country in the world with the most freedoms, and we are allowed to experience something different EVERYDAY. When 9/11 happened and Katrina, everyone was all unified, but just a little time over, they're all over it, and back to hating people. With a country as strong as ours, if we actually got along, can you imagine how better this world would be? I know it's hard to get over our fears, but all of us got over the fear of the dark and the "boogeyman." Why can't we just do it one more time?

"Unity to be real must stand the severest strain without breaking."

- Mahatma Gandhi
