RE: How Good Communities Are Destroyed And Lessons Learned From It

in #community8 years ago (edited)

Sometimes having a specific 'mission' n mind,is the damaging thing. to insiders who agree, it seems like their ideals are finally being met, to insiders who disagree, it seems like they've been duped. To outsiders it seems like a cult. Cultivate; root word 'cult'. 'Grow as you go' is the remedy.

do you have a specific life experience tied to your comment?

Just the memory of being idealistic, younger, thinking life would be more fulfilling if I could live with a group of people with shared values. The rest is from observation, that makes me cynical toward community building based on values, mission. Better luck getting people together based on the type of music they like; the only subcultures that really stand the test of time.
