Even at a young age I valued earning my own toys. If I wanted to modify my bike, I could, I did not have to ask permission of my parents, I earned it, bought and paid for it, it was 100% mine.
I think people have forgotten what it feels like to really earn something, I also think people have forgotten what community is. It is not about factions, about race, about religion, about government, community is about people all people. It is about working together for the benefit of all community members.
I agree. People don't understand ownership, they think it is having - but they discount the responsibility component. It feels good to earn - people seem to have forgotten how.
