Raising social involvement, self awareness and self improvement topics, because our communities are the sum of our personal beliefs, behaviors, action or inaction. Only "we" can improve our family, work place, school, city, country, etc.
I don't think we will come back. We don't trust each other anymore. We have lost a sense of each other's credibility. These days, when there is disagreement, at least one or both parties declare the other is lying. That is very disturbing.
Certainly, in the lead up to the Civil War. But history is full of cases where people lost confidence and trust in each other. Present day Israel is another example.
One of the things I have been thinking about lately, is that people who disagree with us, are lying. i know I don't have a monopoly on truth. Just as I believe certain things, there are often a world of entirely reasonable arguments against the things I believe. And I don't know what the future. If things don't turn out exactly the way I thought it would, which is always the case, that doesn't mean I was lying about it.
But if I give two different valuations for a piece of real estate at the same time, one of them is a fib.
This is, after all, the party of Trump.
