Politics and Religion and Feminism
It was just another lazy Sunday afternoon. In front of me were two dogs being walked around the park by their beloved masters. No sooner did the dogs see either other than did they start growling and barking, struggling against their restraining collars. It was all their masters could do to keep them off each other with the chains around their necks. The dogs had no way of knowing that they had much more in common with one another, than the benevolent masters holding their chains. I could not think of a more apt analogy for fighting with friends and family; over politics, religion and other ideologies. Maybe some dogs have been trained to attack you. Avoid them. Maybe some dogs are fed better than you. Find a better master. Or better yet. Maybe learn to live on your own. With no masters. But stop fighting with your fellow dogs, for God's sake.
