I personally think that some community is required in this, which may not be true for all but a lot of us people... I think we are at a point where doing it on our own isn't cutting it. Yet, the communities many of us live, work or even play in are toxic. I do believe the evolution of man can be pinpointed to being one that gave us improved communication, working together and the social skills as an animal that was required to work together. Yet, we seem to want to stress the self and the individual. (The collective we, not you or me, personally). I also agree about shorter articles, but I get in that too. LOL I have a couple more journal posts as well. I am going to resteem this and part 2 though. I really dig your perspective. I also am spreading it around the rest of the social media places :) Thank you for sharing and taking the time to write it all out. I think you're definitely on to someting and have some great ideas. --- Speaking of community, I have a group on FB - small and local here in Boise. Feel free to check it out and jump in any of the conversations. You can find us as Hydrophant :)
