Community

I think that few things are as deeply ingrained in humanity as community. We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists living a life without ever having to compromise our values or ideals. We think that tricking ourselves into imagining such things as unchanging gives a constantly changing world viewed through a narrow peephole at least some scope of permanence. But really no one wants to be that unagreeable. No one wants to maverick that level of mavericky. It would be miserable if the world was ruled by a flock of mavericks. People want a sense of community they can contribute to. That's where my thought process has been going recently.
