He begins with this Epigraph:
Desperately wishing to avoid a civil war, Lincoln ended his first inaugural address in 1861 with with this plea:

"I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

• The outer enemy, people, institutions, and situations that mean to harm us;
• The inner enemy, anger, hatred, fear, and other destructive emotions
• The secret enemy, self-obsession that isolates us from others
• the super-secret enemy, deep-seated self-loathing that prevents us from finding inner freedom and true happiness.

• – Break free from the mode of “us” versus “them” thinking
• – develop compassion, patience, and love
• – Accept what is beyond our control
• – Embrace lovingkindness, right speech, and other core concepts

"All About Love", Bell Hook
1999
All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces.

A proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness--not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love.

Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation.
