3D forest diagram titled Community Mindsets. The X-axis shows Gratitude versus Entitlement, and the Y-axis shows Empathy versus Judgement. Four trees illustrate the quadrants: A – Gratitude + Empathy, “We thrive together,” a healthy radiant tree. B – Gratitude + Judgement, “I’m blessed,” a strong but self-focused tree. C – Entitlement + Empathy, “We deserve this,” a smaller in-group tree. D – Entitlement + Judgement, “I’m better,” a dark, stunted tree. The image represents how gratitude and empathy sustain communities, while entitlement and judgement erode them.
