We will begin to work together for the common good. But since society is made up of individuals, as we open up to others and allow ourselves to be concerned with their condition, then the society in which we live must also change and become more open. This book is not essentially about the formation and organization of society it is not essentially political in scope. It is the process of truly becoming human…. The discovery of our common humanity liberates us from self-centered compulsions and inner hurts it is the discovery that ultimately finds its fulfillment in forgiveness and loving those who are our enemies. I want to show that this discovery is a journey from loneliness to a love that transforms, a love that grows in and through belonging, a belonging that can include as well as exclude. It is a liberation that opens us up and leads us to the discovery of our common humanity. THIS BOOK IS ABOUT the liberation of the human heart from the tentacles of chaos and loneliness, and from those fears that provoke us to exclude and reject others.
