Beloved Community: Evolutionary Potential
- Beloved Community represents humanity's evolutionary potential for an inclusive heart, driven by empathy and compassion.
- This potential is supported by growing global interdependence and a decrease in violence over time.

- This separation creates fear, craving, and the dehumanization of others, hindering true connection.

- This ingrained tendency to categorize and differentiate based on perceived differences persists today.
