At this fragile moment, each of us must choose whether to be consumed by hatred—or to call forth our better angels. To read it as a 3-min blog To watch it as a 7-min video From Personal Tragedy to National Warning In this episode, Joanne Z. Tan shares an intensely personal story. As a child in China during the Cultural Revolution, she witnessed how political passion, once inflamed, turned ordinary citizens into enemies. Her father, a professor, was exiled and died in forced labor. Her stepbrother’s mother, a school principal, took her own life after brutal persecution. Millions of others were betrayed, beaten, or killed. These tragedies are not just history lessons. They are warnings for today’s America. The same forces—demonization, manipulation, blind obedience, self-righteous anger—can surface here if we fail to see each other’s humanity. Why We Must Be Better Angels Joanne urges us to: Resist the pull of hatred, even when politically provoked. See the human side of those who vote or think differently. Remember that no good comes from violence—ever. Practice civility, tolerance, and respect as patriotic duty. We hold democracy in our own hands. Every word, every action matters. In divisive times, being our better angels may be the most radical form of leadership. About the author, Joanne Z. Tan Joanne Z.
