What is community??? a discussion

What is community???
Maybe it's finding some common ground, living together in "peace"
and not assuming that because someone is different from us that
they are bad, stupid, evil, brainwashed, hateful, etc.

Why not try to learn why the other person thinks different thoughts?
Obviously you have different experiences; but experiences do not equal
to the truth; they are just our opinions.
They may not even be based on facts; at all.

So when you think of community. the place you would like to live.
Don't "shit where you eat".
Keep it clean and enjoy your community.
Open up your mind to learn about others instead of thinking you
have it all figured out.

Discuss with valid thoughts and input.

There’s an old story about a turtle and a scorpion at the river’s edge.

The scorpion asks the turtle to ride on his back to got to the other side. The turtle says no because the scorpion will sting him.

The scorpion then says “surely if I sting you, we will both die”

The turtle agrees and off they go.

Halfway across, the scorpion stings the turtle.

Confused, the turtle asks, “why did you sting me? Now we will both die!”

The scorpion says, “it’s my nature.”

Peace isn’t always feasible.
