Two forces motivate human behavior and choices — love and fear.

Love motivates kindness, compassion, forgiveness, empathy, community, cooperation, generosity, inclusiveness, creativity, service to others.

Fear motivates anger, hatred, violence, revenge, remorselessness, divisiveness, racism, misogyny, greed, selfishness, dishonesty.

What do you see and hear around you? Does it speak of love? Or do you only hear the fear?
