Martin Luther King Junior said “the desegregation of the American South is the political externalization of the goal of the civil rights movement, but the real goal is the establishment of the Beloved Community.” That needs to be our goal too. it’s not enough to understand that the social atomization created by a an economically dog eat dog world is destroying us. We need to understand why it’s destroying us - why an economics that favors a few at the expense of the many is counter to our natural state of being. We are hardwired to love one another, and systems that do not honor that inevitably crumble and fall. We can begin again, and course-correct. We can take the best of modern civilization and marry it to the truth in our hearts - to the imperatives of justice and compassion and our desire for belonging. Then we will achieve the Beloved Community. Then we will repair the world. #ANewBeginning
