It takes a conscious effort to recognize how similar we are and how respecting each other can only bring good. Meanwhile marketing and media (mainstream and social) seems focused on division and pitting us against each other.
It’s easy to be ignorant and combative, it takes fortitude to have compassion and understanding. Deception and censorship in society plays into a chaotic environment that can be readily manipulated.
This community is beautiful, I often ponder if the “hippy” ratio here influences the behaviors within.
