the other side....

I need to belong to something.  It's always been that way.  I've belonged to my family, friends, girls, churches, juice crew, clubs, ministries, and groups.  It's not a weakness to need to belong.  It's part of creation.  But as with all things, too much can be bad.

We see proof of this in the midst of a "conflict."  Immediately people choose sides.  Running to what they know and are familiar with alongside like minded people.  This secures their need to belong and ensures they don't wind up alone.  All for a greater good of course...  Yes, why don't we rush to our sides and further this conflict to the point of no - return.  Along the way we can burn some bridges and dig some holes.  Ha ha.  If you can't tell by the tone of my typing my typical witty charm has been replaced by a darker sarcasm.  

I will not choose a side.  I would rather suffocate my need to belong than sign my soul over to any of you.  Indecision? No.  Selfish?  No.  Lazy?  No.  Maybe without sides we'd see each other closely enough to really love.  You're all crazy.  But I could be worse....
