Is There a Difference Between Being and Being?

I think many of us are feeling this sense of like, gosh, we're so divided. How do you how do you think about belonging and the division that we're experiencing? I've been thinking about it lately is if we can engage people on the level of values instead of beliefs as a first step into conversation. We have the potential to potentially to know people on that level before we get to their beliefs. And in doing so, at least when we can identify shared values with other human beings. That kind of forces us to acknowledge their humanity. Once we see them as being human, it makes it a little bit harder to dissociate from them.
