| No me without a we |
Who’s In Your Community?
Okay people, I want---no need you to
understand that you are better when there is a “we” in your life.
In order to
be more grounded, more aware, more active, creative and a whole bunch of other
things you need to be involved in a community.
One of the
first things we learn in sociology is that the self is social; in other words,
there is no “you” without a “we.”
You need to
belong to a group, an activity, a collective of folks.
Belonging to something makes you
happier, more whole, more human.
So get up
and get involved in your life by being involved in life with others.
If you like
to sing, join a choir.
Dance
Join a book
club
Be a part of
a community council
Invite folks
into your home
Dust off
your high school instrument and join a band
Get together
with old friends
Get involved.
You are better when you get together
with others; better still when you do something with them.
Be you, be well, be we.
