Community

"What we need is to be able to come together with a constantly increasing mindset of wanting to do the right thing, even though we know very well that we don't know how nor where to start... Without a community you cannot be yourself. The community is where we draw the strength needed to effect changes inside of us. Community is formed each time more than one person meets for a purpose. What one acknowledges in the formation of the community is the possiblity of doing together what is impossible to do alone. To make an enemy a friend is to end the need for war, to vanquish the powers of destruction."
