"The great struggle for commonsense!"

I just watched a two hour segment from a long documentary on the Vietnam war on PBS. Allot of misery came out of that war while both sides, I took from watching, had legitimate reasons to think it was a fight worth fighting. The Vietnamese had suffered under colonialism for a very long time and then into their country the Americans came replacing the French occupiers. The Americans themselves were struggling themselves to defeat communism.

 Two people then collided in what became a horrific conflict that once again lulled another generation of man into one more horrible awful war. This kind of blind aggression has repeatedly caught and controlled humanity in its effects across time.  

No one anywhere in the world who believes in a cause hasn't an argument for what their doing. Wherever anyone has an idea, some ideas of course might be fairer ideas then others, where the human person naively is there interpreting those ideas he/she is doing that interpreting imperfectly, and there lies the problem. 

The problem is that finding the truth from ideas, that are susceptible to many forms of different kinds of persuasive arguments, is that any view of the truth, in all the ideas of the world, can persuade anyone in any way.

 Therefore because human beings, lets call us innocent minds,  are caught in this caldron or meat grinder of ideological persuasion it therefore then means that we’re continuously and easily mistaken in what they think and what we believe.  

People because this is true don't have the inherent theory of mind to have the capacity therefore to figure out why someone else’s version of "the truth" is going to unstoppably be often very different from what they experience and end up believing for themself.

Many people alive aren’t able to empathize with this difference in belief. They simply condemn entire swaths of Earth. Ulterior beliefs are held in great suspicion and because of this people often lose sight of one another’s common humanity. 

One mans ideas might actually be the truth over another mans ideas but that’s irrelevant to the hope for mankind of knowing those other ideas. To hold the easily mistaken people, lets call them innocent minds, responsible for this failure of interpreting the truth is beyond bazar. 

In not finding often what in ideas is limited to ones exposure or experience means the ideas naturally believed by some will of course not be believed by others.

 It’s bazar and misguided therefore to hate anyone effected by an idea. If we decline to see the vulnerability we face in this confused state of the human condition we then proceed to judge mankind unfairly.

 Humanity should be looked at then with total equality where every human being should be seen with equal dignity everywhere. As we encounter the insidious traps that we keep falling into and that keep causing us to condone cutting each others throats blindly maybe we can try empathizing instead with each other.
