Progressives will make compromises to maintain the peace. They prefer to find a respectful consensus rather than shove their principles down someone else’s throat. They feel kinship with their neighbors and celebrate their differences. Integrity keeps them on an ethical keel as they revere a spark divine in all living things. They respect the Earth as the source of all our nourishment and want to maintain it in top condition for time immemorial. A progressive can sit next to a neoconservative without hate. Progressives understand that rage, shame and blame are all a dysfunctional game and prefer to practice compassion.
