This quote should be at the top of every YouTube comment section (including this one): "We should make very effort to understand the experiences and concerns of others, especially when they differ from our own. We must not be part of ... a culture of contempt, a habit of seeing those who disagree with us not as merely incorrect or misguided, but as worthless...When some advocates voice insults or practice other minor provocations, both sides should ignore them. Our society already has too many ugly confrontations."

Among the foremost legal minds in the nation. There is little doubt his name was on lists compiled by Governors and even POTUS for appointment to highest courts in the nation around the same time of his selection as President of BYU.

I hope to emulate the love and understanding displayed by President Oaks. I know I have a long way to go before I can be as tolerant and caring as I know Christ wants me to be. But I hope we can all walk down that path and find common ground instead of battleground. Let's embrace peacemaking and speak openly and honestly with one another, diffuse our hostilities, and find ways to live in this troubled world together

believe "according to the dictates of [their] own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may."

I have watched this only twice so far. So much wisdom, is opened to my mind in the understanding of many avenues of law and fairness in law and for all citizens. I may be from another country but our values and respect must have a common understanding. Great dignity is given. 🇬🇧

I really enjoyed the message of love and respect among all citizens. Ignore the extremes and collaborate for the betterment of all. A beautiful anthem.
