**This week I choose a silly post to distract myself from other serious issues going on in my life and around me.**

This is a silly issue, but in the comments sections of various internet posts (yes, I have been reading them!), men and women are still discussing whether the toilet seat should be left up or down.

Some people are really leaning into the whole male vs. female needs points of views; I find it amusing and disturbing how so many people seem so very angry about “being forced” to do what the other gender wants them to do, and only a few are stating the obvious, that it’s a hygiene issue

Us vs. them thinking always is blind to other options

The us vs. them way of thinking goes across so many lines. People love to argue their position that they’re right and the other person is wrong, when in reality the answers or solutions are multiple and aren’t limited to this choice or that choice.

When we add a whole layer of partisan, religious ideals or plain misinformation onto certain choices, we fail to see there are in fact other very valid and viable choices.

Hope you have a great week!
