How do you adequately reflect on what happened in Connecticut on Friday? There's been a lot of conversation on social media, in the news, and among Americans.
I think it comes down to this:
Our country needs more: more human connection, more love, more helping people who are hurting. More smiling at strangers, more random acts of kindness, more listening when you ask if someone is okay.
And we need less: less judging, less gossiping, less hating.
We need to listen to and learn from each other. To create communities, grow together, and reconnect based on shared values.
Most of all, we must genuinely care about each other. Each of us struggles and succeeds, and the overall well-being of our country is dependent on the well-being of our people.
So smile at a stranger, let someone merge in front of you on the highway, and just remember:
we're all in this together.
