Family, tribe, community -- all involve personal human connections. We CARE, and share a sense of togetherness.

Religion may expand the number of people in a type of community, but it has long been a means of control and manipulation by those who seek wealth and power.

Money abandons community altogether, treating people like commodities.

Which is not to say that all is lost. Many millions actually CARE about people they've never met, and protecting the precious ecosystems of this Earth which sustain life itself. Everyone should care for the latter, if only on the bssis of enlightened self interest.

These last 7+ months feels like a dark tunnel with no light at the end, but things change. The long arc of the moral universe bends towards justice, but only if enough good people pull together.
