...is something we share.

I developed this conviction while working with long-term incarcerants ages 14-17.
They wrote in their journals every day and the lives they endured would make one think that they could never smile or be interested is such things as food chains or energy efficiency.

The power we have collectively, "an energy force available to each of us as individuals, which multiplies when we are part of a larger group", is possible because our individual tendencies are toward kindness, and justice, and love.

Those other motivators-fear and hatred- are learned behaviors.

Cheers, H2O Man, to you, your family, and your circles of friends.
