    must say,, i believe that once establishing what makes me me .. it is very peace bulding to look out and find for … not what makes me different from others but what we have in common .. points of unity ,, for better relationships , communitiy and team building, empathy cooperation etc

    • John Wenger Says:

      Yes, indeed Lyndsey. We have more in common than separates us. This (oftentimes) obsession with our “unique selling point” drives us apart and diverts us from, as you say, empathy and compassion which are building blocks of peace and community.
