Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness

NOTE

Building a World Rooted in Love and Compassion

Human intelligence is often misused to create hierarchies that undervalue the essential interdependence among individuals. To foster a positive environment, it's crucial to recognize and affirm everyone's humanity and to cultivate a space primed for love rather than hate. This requires a commitment to practices rooted in compassion and understanding, where both the top and bottom are valued equally. Instead of succumbing to the lure of negativity, there needs to be an invitation for individuals to return to a shared human experience that transcends cultural divides. The influence of societal constructs, like white supremacy and patriarchy, may create barriers that individuals must navigate and unlearn, as many grow up under these oppressive systems. A collective awareness of global perspectives on issues like climate change underscores the need to move away from regressive narratives held by powerful nations. The mission lies in creating nurturing communities that counteract toxicity, encouraging a mindset of love that helps humanity evolve toward a more compassionate future. This shift may be challenging, especially in the context of dismantling imperialistic legacies, but within these efforts exists the potential to build a more loving world.
