Why Spirituality is Needed in Politics SpeakEasy
SpeakEasy &bull Feb 20, 2010I used to think that the left / liberal tradition was all about struggle, anger, and righteous indignation. That was what fueled generations of oppressed and marginalized people to fight the status quo to free the slaves, reform the factories, gain the vote, enforce standards for safe food and medicine, combat racism, sexism and homophobia, and win all the democracy, rights and social safety nets so far gained. But I have realized that, even more than angry struggle, its success has been borne out of empathy.… Full Story »
