you know, I think a lot of problems people face would be solved if they were involved in a healthy community. so many people don’t have strong friends (or any at all), aren’t around multi generations (there is so much value in helping children grow and getting wisdom from elders), don’t have a support system of likeminded individuals, etc etc and you’re just out here basically alone struggling to fend for yourself without the protection and ability to rest on your community. no big families, no religious community, no nothing.
it’s crazy that you can live surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of people and yet be so disconnected from them all. to not know your neighbors names, to go out every day and not see the same face twice unless they work at the grocery store you shop. community is vital to humans. integral! join a club or two or three. meet people, befriend them, embrace the social side of your genetic makeup that has gone ignored for so long, much to the dwindling of your well-being. and when I say community, I mean community. not just having a few friends but like a community. we are not meant to be alone like this.
