We are all on the same side

ENID THACKERY

We're always taking sides, aren't we? Most of us have our favorite teams in sports, our favorite candidate for public office, a definite position on an issue in church, business, or school. It seems normal and natural to take sides in controversial situations.

Often petty squabbles erupt in a game; public figures become vindictive toward one another, and deep-seated hostilities threaten to divide and destroy valuable organizations. Many times in the history of mankind the horrifying extreme of disagreement has been a devastating war.
