The World Needs Builders

The World Needs Builders, President Uchtdorf Tells Los Angeles World Affairs Council
“It takes courage … and humility to put away old hatred, divisions and traditions that constrict and confine people into a blind succession of destructive behavior toward others,” President Uchtdorf said. “It is within our reach to breach barriers of hate and build bridges of brotherhood and understanding between opposing cultures, beliefs, religion and world views.”

Thought from the Arbinger Institute

There are those who see others humanely and those who don't in every country and faith community. Lumping everyone of a particular race or culture or faith into a single stereotype is a way of failing to see them as people. (The Anatomy of Peace, p. 29)
