White people have least confidence in the American Dream

As a person, I wish that racial dualities could just be abandoned so we can let the scabs heal. Race is a matter that's out of an individual's control. We should only sweat things within our immediate control.

The American Dream has always been a myth. Progress is a myth. What is the goal of progress? What are we progressing towards? I'd assume that it's peaceful coexistence, but progressives never really state what that utopia is. The conservatives generally cling to old models out of fear of the unknown as well, thus they cling to the comfort of their preconceived notions and dualities.

Nobody seems to get that, we need to just be aimless for a while. We need to smell, see, touch each other, fuck, enjoy life, and stop building a society. A society is self-evident and already built. It's an environment, not a tool. It's a garden, not a monoculture. It needs maintenance. We should embrace our personal boredom, and work at maintaining. We need to understand the concept of enough.

We need to observe the emotional twitches that lead us to affect the lives of others in positive or negative ways, and choose wisely.

You see, the thing is, peaceful coexistence is an individual choice. It is up to each person, each bipedal primate, no matter what the hue, to advance their own, right now, in a peaceful way.

For the most part, coexistence must be realized, not attained through force. Because we'll never get it that way. The path of least resistance IS peaceful coexistence. Kinetic force has never been peaceful.

It's dangerous and insulting to assume anything about anybody. If the spectrum of humanity keeps us conveniently divided, then we should unlearn that spectrum and find a common ground. A common awareness. But it must be voluntary and easy. It shouldn't be difficult. We need to be voluntarily lazy for a while
