"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

If we desire a society of peace, then we cannot achieve such a society through violence. If we desire a society without discrimination, then we must not discriminate against anyone in the process of building this society. If we desire a society that is democratic, then democracy must become a means as well as an end. ~Bayard Rustin
Unreason and anti-intellectualism abominate thought. Thinking implies disagreement; and disagreement implies nonconformity; and nonconformity implies heresy; and heresy implies disloyalty — so, obviously, thinking must be stopped. But shouting is not a substitute for thinking and reason is not the subversion but the salvation of freedom. ~Adlai Stevenson, A Call to Greatness (1954), p. 99
“Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel in order to be tough. The vigorous expression of our American community spirit is truly important. The ancient injunction to love thy neighbor as thyself is still the force that animates our faith—a faith that we are determined shall live and conquer in a world poisoned by hatred and ravaged by war.” ~President Franklin D Roosevelt, In a radio address for the Mobilization for Human Needs on October 13, 1940
The opposite of anger is not calmness, its empathy. ~Mehmet Oz
One doesn’t have to operate with great malice to do great harm. The absence of empathy and understanding are sufficient. ~Charles M. Blow
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it. ~Abraham Lincoln
Our community belongs to us and whether it is mean or majestic, whether arrayed in glory or covered in shame, we cannot but share its character and destiny. ~Frederick Douglass
The greatest good we can do our country is to heal its party divisions and make them one people. ~Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Dickinson, July 23, 1801

"In a republic, to be successful we must learn to combine intensity of conviction with a broad tolerance of difference of conviction. Wide differences of opinion in matters of religious, political, and social belief must exist if conscience and intellect alike are not to be stunted, if there is to be room for healthy growth. Bitter internecine hatreds, based on such differences, are signs, not of earnestness of belief, but of that fanaticism which, whether religious or anti-religious, democratic or anti-democratic, is itself but a manifestation of the gloomy bigotry which has been the chief factor in the downfall of so many, many nations."
~Teddy Roosevelt, “Citizenship in a Republic” speech, April 23, 1910

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.” ~Dr. Carl Sagan, 1995, from
The Demon-Haunted World

The truth will set u free...but FIRST,it will piss u off......Gloria Steinman
BUT, over and an above that...think about this.QUOTE from a fiction book by Harlan Coben.
"Over millenniums, man has adapted,both for better and for worse. Navigation systems (GPS) studies
show that parts of our brain are changing,even ATROPHYING,because we rely on GPS.That has happened in just a few years. But,take the whole spectrum of mankind's history....how we lived in caves,forests,slept
with one eye open,no protection..our PRIMITIVE INSTINCTS for survival in overdrive. NOW think about how
SOFTEN AND ERODED we have become. Learning to sense and be attuned to a heightened capability
or harbinger." (it would be interesting to research the topic of man's atrophy for survival.)
