Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how divided our world has become—and how only moments of tragedy, like the loss of a loved one, an accident, or illness, seem to bring us together.

Why does it take pain to remind us of our shared humanity? Why can’t we unite for the common good before crisis forces us to? Somewhere along the way, selfishness has begun to erode our ability to stand together—and it’s quietly tearing us apart.
