Reflecting on the US Surgeon General's Parting Prescription for America
Love is the driver of change that promotes emotional health and community cohesion.
As Dr. Vivek Murthy concludes his tenure as U.S. Surgeon General this week, he leaves us with an important message in "My Parting Prescription for America."
Dr. Murthy emphasizes the vital importance of community in achieving true fulfillment and well-being. He identifies three foundational pillars:
Relationships: Building and nurturing meaningful connections with those around us.
Service: Engaging in acts of kindness and assistance to strengthen communal bonds.
Purpose: Seeking a deeper meaning in life beyond materialistic pursuits.
To realize this he highlights the centrality of love.
“To build community requires love. Love not as sentimentality, but as a commanding force with the power to build, strengthen, and heal. Love as generosity and kindness. Love as hope and grace. Love as courage.” Dr. Vivek Murthy
