Forced Division?
People might someday ask why I have chosen a peculiar name; unforced schism, for my blog. Before anyone does, heres my answer.
The obvious reason is,
Ive been procrastinating for too long and there seems to be no ‘normal’ name left for selection. I tried almost everything that comes to mind, to no avail. So I came up with a term unique enough that might do the job. Here is where it originated from.
‘Unforced error’ is a term which originates from the game of tennis. You could guess the meaning since its quite straight forward. One definition is mistake made by a player which is not due to the opponent's skill or effort. Nothing and nobody forced the error. The error was caused by the player lack of focus. Hence "unforced".
Schism is a word i first heard from a song by the band 'Tool'. Schism carries the meaning of division, disunion, or separation between people. The meaning of division is clear. For me, there are too many divisions among people nowadays. Some are totally unnecessary. Division is normal to exist at a macro level, but being present in a micro level is ridiculous. For example, under a religion, there could exist hundreds maybe thousands of sects. The problem could even exist among family members. And the most mind boggling thing about it is that no one forced them to hate each other.
Most conflicts starts from miscommunication or lack of communication. So lets strengthen our communication. An illusion of borderless world cant hide the fact that we are still clueless about our fellow humans. We are still divided by the border of ignorance.

Why?
āl ʿim'rān
And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided. {103}
āl ʿim'rān
And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment.{105}
Indeed, those who have divided their religion and become sects - you, [O Muhammad], are not [associated] with them in anything. Their affair is only [left] to Allah ; then He will inform them about what they used to do.{159}
