396: How Can We Bring Humanity Back Together?

Published: Sept. 22, 2021, 9 a.m.

Every day, we\u2019re faced with the reality that humanity is divided right now, possibly more than ever. I\u2019m seeing people be outright hateful to each other, in ways I\u2019ve simply never seen before. Even wishing harm upon others has become all too common. I fear that humanity is losing the shared values that are necessary for us to sustain peace and unity.\xa0

If you and I aren\u2019t the change we want to see in the world\u2014if we don\u2019t stand for love, compassion, respect, forgiveness, freedom, and allowing each other the dignity to each choose how we live our lives\u2014we, as a species, may be in more trouble than any of us can even imagine.\xa0

But how can we love, respect, and forgive people who have wronged us, or who we view as a threat to our own safety? How can we honor our own values while getting along with people who may not share our values? Is it possible for us to remember that we are ALL fundamentally the same\u2014human beings on this journey we call life\u2014and to focus on and find common ground in our shared humanity, as opposed to our relatively superficial differences?\xa0

In today\u2019s episode, I want to unpack these questions and really try to answer them. It starts with you, and it starts with me. I want to talk about how we treat and view other people, the bigger picture of what\u2019s going on with humanity, and what we can do to create unity and stop sowing division during this critical time in history.

Key Takeaways

  • Why focusing on our differences instead of our commonalities is driving us apart.
  • How the media is conditioning us to fear, hate, and wish harm on others.
  • Why choosing to view people from a space of unconditional love doesn\u2019t condone their behavior\u2014and why hating someone hurts you more than them.
  • The value of truly living life in alignment with your values.
  • Why we\u2019re all deserving of unconditional love.
