The Power of Ones words

Scotland has now reached its time to vote, but will either answer be correct.  Today I witnessed two friends having a pint together laughing enjoying life as we all should, but then one mentioned he was voting yes in the referendum and the other became slightly annoyed because he said he was voting no.  After a massive heated argument in the middle of the pub, one of them picked up his jacket and said he couldn't be friends with someone betraying their country.  I'm not going to say which friend it was that said it but, if anyone who reads this is voting, the yes voters will think its the no voter, but the no voters will think its the yes voter.  That is not the point of this, the point is to show what this vote is doing before the vote has already begun, its tearing up Friendships, Bonds, and even Family.  This vote is for Scotland, but it shouldn't tear us apart which ever the verdict is we are going to need these three things more than ever, and if friends feel that because one is voting/supporting something else, that they can't be friends then it just shows how much weight two little words, Yes and No, can destroy relationships that could of taken a life time to build.  If it has broken up one of these three things, then maybe now is time to repair them before its too late, friends can last a life time, supports of rival football, baseball, hockey, basketball and even rugby teams can be friends easily enough, then so can political views.  Words are deadlier weapons then anything mankind constructs to kill, but at least words can be undone, make sure some aren't final, because you don't know when you may count upon that Friend to be there when it counts most.
