Oxymoron

Cold, wet and windy, warm, dry and sunny. Over the border, two different worlds. One, struggling to bring dinner home, the other not struggling at all. All you have to do is peep over the border and *bam*. A whole new environment. If you're from "the dark side", you won't be able to cross the border. Even if you could, you wouldn't. Only because you know you would be treated differently, worse. Like a slave, if you like.

When I say sunny, what would you think of? Summer! Flowers everywhere, girls dressing sexier, convertible cars with their roofs down, etc. But, what comes with summer? Summer holidays! The beach gets warmer, the days get longer and of course, your skin colour gets darker. Cold, on the other hand makes you think of winter. Those cold days when you slip on the snow on your way to work, having cold and wet feet because of it. Looking at naked trees? It is not a nice sight at all.

Just imagine yourself, dressed up like it's summer but instead, it's winter. You would eventually put more layers on and light the fireplace up to keep yourself warm. That is how it feels like going to "the dark side". No one wants that because it's clearly horrible. Why would you want to go down to that level, like "them" unworthy people. They should not exist. They don't even do any good in society. We don't need these type of people. 

That's why we built the border. We don't want our children to… ... Wait...  

I'm probably not making sense. Let me start from the beginning. How all of it started in the first place …
