How could we cultivate and foster goodwill in our nation?
We see each other through broken lenses of distrust, suspicion and across divides. Now we see political parties and civic organizations coming with lists of “ten demands”, asking “the other side” to meet these “demands”.
We foster a national atmosphere of unworkability with these myopic ways.
Walking around with a list of ten demands hanging around our necks staring in hostile antagonism at each other accomplishes what? Do we really expect the “other” to give in to our “demands”?
Building our society calls for cooperation, understanding, mutual trust, reaching out. Now we’re demanding?
We fuel our unworkability with this constant attack on the fragile state of our social space.
