It was some time later that the dividers first appeared.
No one saw them come into the gathering by the way of the way.
Some say they came from cracks in the ground, others say they are the embodiment of suppressed resentment in the mind.
At first they appeared harmless enough, talking avidly with those of their own inclination. Then, bit by bit, the atmosphere began to change.
" Why did these get that? Why did we not get those before they had taken the best? They don't clean up as we do. We want our own area, and those not of our kind must leave or else! "
Those of us still following the way of the way noticed that the spokespersons were always the dividers, speaking, they said, for their kind.
They began to organise attacks upon others not of their inclinations, appointing their favourites as "protectors" and granting them power to wield.
People began to believe that this was all natural, the only way it could be, the way it should be.
The number of us still holding on to the way of the way are dwindling.
We need help.
