“What’s in it for me?”
These choices I make for my own wellbeing:
- I am happier, healthier, and more productive if I choose not to live in a world of enemies.
- My example and encouragement may influence friends and loved ones.
- As growing numbers of people make the same choices, we can slowly but continuously restore health to how we talk to each other.
- These choices, if adopted by enough people over time, can encourage educators to promote diversity of viewpoints in the classroom and on campus, the media to present fairly different points of view, and political candidates to engage with rising levels of intellectual honesty over dogma and personal destruction.
- All for a more secure and functional republic, and a more humane civilization.
