Ants in a Jar
Why can't we, as a HUMAN race, just get along? Here in America, everybody and their brother seems to be fighting, unaliving people, hurting each other...no wonder foreigners don't want to come here anymore. Now, I do admit, I've never been out of the country.
I heard this story years and years ago, and I think it's a good analogy for what's going on that some folks see, and others don't see.
Take a jar, a little bit of dirt, a few different types of ants, and a lid on the jar. At first, the ants are happy, they get along, working well together. Then a big hand comes along, and shakes the jar a little. Now, you have a bunch of angry, pissed off ant's, thinking one of the other ants caused the disturbance. So, now they fight for their lives.
The ants were happy and gotten along...once, what happened to get them so pissed at.. each other?
WE are the ants in the jar. We have different peoples living around us, that at one time got along, lived and worked well together, side by side. Then, somebody came along and shook the jar! The lid? The lid is the containment that keeps us in the jar, so we cannot escape from the hand, shaking the jar.
"The hand" is whatever you want to call it.. the government...outside forces, whoever you want to say. Isn't it time we remain calm, even tho the jar is shaking like hell.
