"A Call to National Reconciliation: Embracing Love Over Self-Loathing" In a powerful commentary, a prominent voice is urging Americans to shift their default emotional state from self-doubt and criticism to love and acceptance. The author argues that the pervasive culture of self-loathing in the US has led to division, anxiety, and a breakdown in civil discourse. By embracing love as the default emotion, the writer believes that the country can begin to heal from its deep-seated wounds and work towards a more inclusive and compassionate society. But what does this mean in practice, and how can individuals and communities start to cultivate a culture of love and acceptance?
Our default emotion for this country should be love — not self-loathing.
