Hanging out with the fellas

My friends and I were talking today about appearances and how appearances seem to be what the world is based on most of the time. From mass media to social customs appearances plays a huge role. The difference between a Shiite and Sunni is not noticeable by appearance alone which I guess is good in some ways, but also is dangerous in others. Its hard to know who you can trust and who you can’t which I guess is one of the reasons why people don’t try harder to stick together. It’s been so violent and dangerous for so many years that it’s just easier to protect yourself and watch out for your own back than to really worry about what anyone else is doing.
