13:6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 13:7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. 13:8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. 13:9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left."
And maybe, maybe, somewhere in between, is a very tiny little slice of neutral middle ground, and maybe the subsequent destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah won't have to be played out over and over and over again.
Maybe history can be altered.
Or maybe not.
And maybe if I weren't so weary, I'd have the good sense to not post this.
