As Easter and Passover both concluded yesterday, I am reminded of this older KTHT piece of mine on the power of love.

As well as this op-ed by David Brooks:

The column’s subtitle: “The policy implications of love your neighbor.”

What big idea counteracts division, fragmentation, alienation? It is found in Leviticus and Matthew: Love your neighbor. Today’s left and right are fueled by anger and seek conflict. The big idea for moderates should be solidarity, fraternity, conversation across difference. A moderate agenda should magnify our affections for one another.

Love truly can unify. I tweeted about this and David’s column last May.
