The only thing that holds society together is a desire for peace; a desire for the harshest parts of human nature to not be in display for our friends and family to see. There is a cultural momentum present in every country. You can see it at work around the world. In areas that have known long periods of "peace" the local population has a tendency away from violent resistance to authority. The opposite is also true. In areas where the population has first hand experience of war and other armed struggle, there is little reason for the population to acquiesce to the demands of "authority". We in The West have known a long period of peace at home. Lately this has been changing. Like a pot of water sitting on a fire with the water slowly heating up, we are approaching a point of change. Like water boiling over the edge of the pot, violence is only moments away from becoming a reality. Our societal momentum is not towards peace anymore. It hasn't been for a while, but it is becoming obvious even to the unobservant now. If we want peace to prevail, things must change. We must move to back down from the brink. This cold war between the left and the right is close to going hot. There is the thinnest of lines right now between us and the unthinkable. If things go south, it won't be like some people imagine. It won't be a glorious uprising. It will be a Bosnia. It will be a Serbia. It will be a Georgia or Ukraine. It will be all of these, but much much worse. Our population is armed. If the time comes that those who just want to be left alone in peace with their families realize that peace is not desired by the other side, then they will receive what they desire. It won't be pretty. It won't be civil. It won't be limited by any rules. Pray for this country and her people. Pray that peace prevails. #momentum #peace #war #CivilWar #Uprising #Struggle #WROL #Strife #Unrest
