What I think we need is more humanity. More sharing of our stories and life experiences. It’s how we come to appreciate people we don’t know and that may not look like or live like us. It’s easy to be baited into hatred of the faceless other, but a human being with a story we can relate to and empathize with? Much harder.
This other path points to our higher human potential to learn with humility about the things we don’t understand, and to hold wide-open space for the possibility that other people are not monsters, they are just different.
These are important.
