In my experience so far, these honorable and reflecting writings come always from people who van be 'categorized' on the right. So far I have never seen or heard this coming from the left, and that is what makes this so difficult for me. In dutch we have the saying; goed voorbeeld doet goed volgen (a good example, creates good follow ups) but in this case that remains to be seen.
I'm not sure what it will take for things to come back to more centered. As long as people are respectful, I enjoy discussing topics but as soon as they become loud and try to outrun what I have to say, I think the conversation is futile. We have lost our ability to discuss things reasonably. There is so much political posturing on one hand and screaming tactics on the other.
J. Krishnamurti once said, “The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.” It is ego identification with one's thoughts that fosters so much hate and violence. To exist in a state of intuitive discernment without judgement fosters serenity and a detachment from one's thoughts and opens the door to loving one another.
My husband and in-laws, niece and most of my workplace are left.... and I almost left a few times during COVID....and then Trump, and then Trump, again and then elbows up, and then and then.... let me tell you, there is a fine line between love and hate and I came very close too many times to mention.... when I get gaslight, and called a right-wing conspiracy theorist on a daily basis, they make it easy, let me tell you..... I get it... I am still here and try to feel bad for them but it's lonely in my house.

The guides we most need now are the ones ignored by teachers in today's ideologically captured systems.

The left want to make "Islamophoba" illegal.
I am getting my "Islamophobia" written down now, before such writiing becomes illegal.
Hopefully the law will not be applied retroactively!

I see many people on the Left as dangerous, deluded, narcissists with institutional power.

When normal discourse has devolved into “Don’t say anything that I don’t like”, discourse is dead.
That's how it is now, but the plea is to change that, and unfortunately, most of the change has to come from the left.
