As a middle of the road independent I take a stand and project, the great problems of this planet can only ultimately be realized by minds of similar willingness to determine acceptable middle ground.
The unfortunate setback to this circumstance, for we who accept this lable, is obscurity within serious political debate and a tendency to be run over by both philosophical extremes whose well funded rhetoric drives the heavy machinery that quashes any and all voices who would tread this ever thinning centrist line.
There are solutions available to social and economic instability, when the tables set for discussion are in the proverbial round. Arthur had it right in this regard. No human has greater interest than I and I no more than any other, in the positive outcomes of this world. We all derive the ultimate justice for what actions we have dealt to what future we collectively attain.
Extremism is the truest enemy to beware, on all aspects of every human spectrum, as these objectives consistantly emphasize eradication of any oppositional action seen to weaken the pull to a single direction.
The stalemate and consequent inertia of humanities tug-o-war have driven a spike into the flag of all progress. While vast fortunes are built upon the edges of the weighted rope, what awaits the masses, when finally the strand can hold no more and tension snaps our grasp of sanity? Millions have, and the majority will, drown in the mud and chaos.
Drop the rope that draws us to the pit. Stand round it's edge and fill it in with ideas and action that build concensus. Call out those who, with fear, retake the rope, yet ease their grasp with a listening heart, forgiveness and inspiration devoid of judgement.
Sadly, many unable to loose their savage linear foothold and unlock a circular approaches healing potential would, through selfish resolve, blindly attempt to promote violent restraint upon this idea. The sacrifice to stand true would bring no mercy in it's initial stages. We have known centuries at odds. The need to prune these frozen edges may be a tragically unifying and an unavoidible requirement to allow for peace.
The center is the hardest work, the truest aim, the strongest bond, and the holiest fire. The danger for mankind is very real. The weight of division increases by the hour. Drop the rope, seek all wisdom. Sift the earth for logic and hope.
Ambition and wealth have not bred the greatest perspectives as theirs are quite often bent to the idols of self interest and less the pulse that drives the whole of mankind. There are no saviors here but their sound philosophies. In this potentially final call, we must awake and save ourselves
