I wrote From the Edges of a Broken World with the idea of encouraging dialogue, a conversation. It is unfortunate that the reaction of the editorial board of the magazine has effectively shut that down.
I am grateful to every single person who has reached out, and heartened by the many who read my essay and get the importance of a nuanced perspective. Why is it so hard to hold others in our hearts? This, in our broken world, is what being human demands of us.
