What will unite humanity?

Will it take massive natural disasters and tragedies for us to finally put aside our differences in caste, religion, race, and geography and unite in a needto survive? Or will we be sufficiently inspired by love, empathy, and compassion to do so?

What will it take to unite us?or will we ever?

Nothing permanently. There’s just nothing we all value in the same way, there are qualifiers…

We value safety, but we can’t agree on what or [b]whom[/b] we see as dangerous.

We value children, but we can’t agree on how to protect them, or whose rights it’s okay to ignore in that pursuit.

We value autonomy, but we can’t agree on how it should look; at what point does an individual’s "freedom" negatively impact the group ?

And, at least in my country, we’ve been backsliding; not learning from our mistakes, allowing people nostalgic for the "old ways" to take the lead. Unfortunately, if those ways had worked for everyone, there would’ve been no fight to change them.

@bijouxbroussard The final thing you said is a genuine thought. It wouldn't need to be altered if the oldermethods had succeeded. We must continue looking for solutions that could improve society's tolerance and peace.
