Hospitality is contagious. Like a benevolent virus with pandemic potential, it bewitches us with its charm, infects us with its potency, enthralls us with its expansiveness. It's a mark of civilized society, a sign of cultural advancement, a badge of spiritual enlightenment. Without hospitality, we remain in a dark cave of seclusion and separation, where the lights are out and the heat is never turned on. In hospitality's warm embrace, we're warmed by the glow of a communal fire, illumined by sparks of empathy and compassion.
