Rx for Resilience: Heal
The United States is having an emotional hemorrhage. We are experiencing unprecedented political violence, vitriol, and venom that is causing our great nation to turn in on itself. We have to heal ourselves from the inside out.
These sad, alarming times call for patience, forgiveness, neutrality, magnanimity, healing, and calm. Leading up to our nation’s 250 anniversary next summer, we all need to be exemplars of what this great nation stands for: strength, pluralism, freedom of speech, respect for each other, diplomatic disagreement without escalation and generous leadership through service.
In modeling the best of what we can be, we show young people the way forward. We have the chance to give them hope, show them strength and show them how to transform tragedy in to triumph. No matter who you vote for, how you identify or what your faith is, as Americans we can all unite around a future that defines a thriving democracy. Let’s heal and recalibrate to show our elected officials and all with whom we interact, how to heal, live and lead on higher ground.
