"Power without love is brutality, but love without consideration of power is sentimentality. How to make power express love, and love humanize power, is the distinctive task for the next hundred years," Reinhold Neibuhr noted in the 1920s.  In the face of a public governance ecosystem of mixed incentives, varied goals, and diverse visions where compromise is a necessary virtue, what is the role of principled values in politics?  For all love-based grassroots movements that have shaped human history, we equally see the invisible hand of power -- from ending slavery to women gaining the right to vote -- in implementing those visions for humanity. The onus of skilfully balancing bridge-building capacity of love and boundary-setting capacity of power lies on politicians, and the rules of the systems they inhabit. As we embrace the most accelerated and interwoven global culture in our history, how do we encourage political leadership that is trained in a deeper awareness of our interconnectedness, and evolve our governance systems so individual and collective "intelligence of the heart" can flourish in our policies?
