Everything today has a side you MUST be on! Do You Really Have To Pick A Side?!!

Today, it seems like every aspect of life—film, music, health, politics—has split into opposing sides, constantly at odds. Whether it’s artistic expression being politicized, differing opinions on healthcare practices, or even which music reflects the “right” values, the tension is relentless. The pressure to pick a side can be overwhelming, as if neutrality means ignorance or weakness. But maybe the real strength lies in observing both sides, asking better questions, and seeking understanding instead of division. You don’t always have to pick a side—you can choose perspective, empathy, and independent thought.
