Nowadays, being online feels like stumbling into a vast world of extremes. It's either plunging into darkness or getting lost in brightness. This polarization is so severe that it's distressing. Sometimes, witnessing all the arguments online is just exhausting.

Just think about it, casually opening a social media platform, and you're met with a storm of opinions. Either someone is shouting, "Darkness is falling, all because of XX," or there's someone yelling, "Light prevails, all because of justice." It's like standing on the edge of two extreme cliffs, where any middle ground is thrown into the abyss.

But, is this kind of polarization really necessary? Can't we have a bit of a gray area where everyone can sit down and talk? Perhaps in that gray area, we can find real solutions. After all, isn't this black-and-white view a bit too simplistic? The world isn't a simple black-and-white painting; it's more like an abstract painting filled with various colors. In this complex and ever-changing world, why should we resort to such black-and-white thinking? Yet, as soon as something happens, everyone rushes to take sides, demanding others to do the same.

Moreover, polarization on the internet is evident in every aspect, from global issues to trivial matters of daily life. For example, when a hot topic arises, you're either loudly supporting one side or wishing to throw the other into the Pacific Ocean.

I'm curious, though, what good does this polarization really bring? Besides increasing conflicts and creating opposition, what else? Perhaps it's to prove one's unwavering stance? That's a bit absurd. If it weren't for the internet being so developed, polarization wouldn't have reached such extremes. In the past, people had to meet face-to-face on the streets to argue. Now, a few keystrokes can ignite the entire network, intensifying polarization.

I'm just tired of this situation, and I don't see any signs of improvement in the short term.

Polarization is severe everywhere, even in reality.
