## Resource

When it comes to societal issues, the real question isn’t policy—it’s purpose: do we choose to reduce suffering or add to it? From holding a door to stripping LGBTQ+ protections in New Hampshire, from xenophobic immigration rhetoric to the trauma of family separation, cruelty often masquerades as governance. The current administration seems fixated on harm, making big change feel distant. But hope lies in reframing everything through empathy: early education for overwhelmed parents, elder care for all of us someday. The most powerful policy starts with compassion.
