A Call for Compassion: Building Bridges, Not Walls

How has society become so polarized and judgmental? It often feels like we are divided into groups: Conservatives against Liberals, Traditionalists against Progressives, Rural against Urban, Isolationists against Globalists.

While no one seems to relish this division, we live it out every day.
