Confusing World?

Venturing outside of family differences numbers in opinion multiply. Just take a small look into news, Facebook, religion and politics. Having an opportunity to just take a small look at the differences in opinion in your community would present interesting numbers. Expand that into race, countries and ethnicity and the numbers become as unfathomable as the number of salt in the sea.
Opinion and mathematics differ like fire and water although fire and water can be used together. Boil water or put out fire they can be used together in a multitude of ways.
Surviving a brain injury calls for simplicity because what I am able to do in a day changes by day. Steps forward and steps back are familiar to us all. In time the brain does slowly heal having us realize that our brains are the administrator or the king of our castle. To experience how the brain effects our bodies is unimaginable.
But the world of opinion, religion and politics operates differently. Or so we believe.
Imagine being black or native American in this country with the expectation that Jesus and Santa are white. That Christianity is our religion. What if Trump was elected as the President of the U.S. and other counties thought that we needed to be protected and changed. If foreign troops moved in and most of our major cities were bombed into looking like the broken down portions of New Orleans or Detroit and many other unlivable portions of America. How many of us would then become what would be labeled by our occupiers as terrorists.
With or without a brain injury the world is confusing. Mathematically there are formulas and equations that construct a this plus this and a minus that will equal the same numbers every time. When the power of a dollar usurps constructive formulas for the common good everything is effected. Even in our world of brain injuries numbers and causes have been downplayed. From High Schools and College sports to the NFL. For returning veterans. The need and understanding has been suppressed.
The dollar is our administrator and the King of our castle.
