Am I a gatherer or a scatterer?

The other day I was asked this question, “Are you a gatherer or a scatterer?”

Do I seek to bring people together or drive them apart? Do I look for areas of agreement, of compromise, or only areas of division? Can I disagree without being disagreeable?

It seems like so many issues have become issues between opposing camps, and if anyone dare seek a compromise, that person can be considered a traitor to the cause. 

It doesn’t seem like a healthy way for a society to continue. 

It’s given me a lot to think about.
