Conservatism Liberalism Reconciliation

...conservatism, liberalism, reconciliation...
let us come together for the good of this great nation.


LIBERALISM AND CONSERVATISM may be seen as the two fundamental philosophies of life which eternally compete with and compliment each other. And truly, there's a time and place for each. In current america we liberals and conservatives fight like cats and dogs, and there is no reason for this much vitriole..we can find common ground, and unite...

...in america there is a long tradition of spirited, patriotic democratic debate. this aspect of america is good, world; you'll have to trust me..yet may we never again become divisively angry, as in the "civil war"..in fact, not only america, but all the world must unite, at least to a degree, for our very survival -  liberals and conservatives need not be enemies, anywhere.

In essence, liberalism means change, and conservatism means less change, or the lack of change. Any person can be liberal in some areas, and conservative in others.  We tend to be more conservative about those things which are dear to us, and the more liberal one is, the more one dislikes the status quo.

In a sense, liberals have it made, for verily change seems to be the way of nature, including humanity. Yesterday's liberalism is today's consrvatism. Thus it must be stipulated that conservatives are not always opposed to change; they merely tend to want les of it, at a slower rate.

Few among us are sufficiently open minded, or saintly, or schizophrenic, to simultaneously employ and embrace both modes of thought; although it is quite possible to do so, by regarding both as true, but neither as absolutely or always true, by truthless reconciliation.

The more truthless reconciliation we have, the more peace, happiness, and harmony, and the less anger. With an intelligent and mature attitude, turmoil and confusion need not intercede. Actually, the ability to simultaneously embrace two seemingly contradictory concepts has been described as a form of sainthood. May we awaken the saintliness within us all!
