"Our best hope for the future is not to get people to think of all humanity as family - that's impossible. It lies, instead, in an appreciation of the fact that, even if we don't empathize with distant strangers, their lives have the same value as the lives of those we love."

The key to the happy life, it seems, is the good life: a life with sustained relationships, challenging work, and connections to community."
