Instead of railing against hate, we focus on love; instead of judging the angry, we offer them our peaceful presence; instead of warning against a dystopian future, we provide a hopeful vision.

The seeds of care and empathy are built into every human being and a variety of soils and fertilizers will allow those same seeds to grow and flourish.

Moral growth corresponds with people’s ability to see the world from an ever-increasing number of perspectives and act accordingly.

Bridges are made with intention. They make it possible to go between two places that were previously difficult to access.

Without action, we can relegate ideas about social harmony and bridge-building to the realm of wishful thinking.

As acrimony gets a tighter grip on democratic society, good people can either sit on the sidelines, debilitated by angst and daily distractions, or they can overcome indecision and work towards harmony.

Without a tapestry of caring, civilization would collapse into a chaotic every-man-for-himself battlefield.

We, the willing, should practice the art of lifting the ideological veil and seeing co-humanity everywhere.
