United by which keep us apart .. the world is paradoxically sectioned

The world is divided between those who.... 
     .........   and those who do not.  
                      (but queerly not evenly, not even by a narrow margin) 

 a/.....   think with their head,
                         and those who know with their heart..
 b/.....   live to ‪#‎travel‬ and those who travel to live.
c/ .....   have had sex, and
                                  those prepared to give it another try;  
 d/ .....   run “wired” and those who run “free”
 
e/ .....   ask for freedom to do what we are forced to do
                             and those who force mind-slaves to love freedom 

and last,  but without doubt not least.....  (link)
e/ .....  say “uh” and those who say “um.” in their tweets.
