of community

we are a community of one on this planet, something not to forget.

To say community often brings up in mind our obligation to our peers and children, but to define community

community can be viewed both as who we are to each other and who we are to the outsider.

Community can be viewed both as who we are to each-other and who we are to the outsider.

In both cases there are obligations.

For those who serve the community be it wage slave or priest.
be it service member or first responder
quite often our profession is what defines us in regards to the community
But parent is also serving the community as is any care giver that tends those family ,friends and those in need
a student serves the community by bettering them self, provided they return the investment in service in some form for the community

But now let us look at smaller and closer to the micro

Of the spiritual and social orders
In this I will view them together, quite often people bond over a common tie, be it of the spirit
Christian, Pagan, faith by blood or by culture,
or be it by common lifestyle, biker, bdsm, or outlaw.
In this they will help each other...but few if any will help an outsider and have no expectations of reward. Of this I have seen bikers give and protect the honor of our fallen ...Tho the spiritual tends to push there cultural views on others as the price for there compassion.
In that they commit an act of kindness for Arguably self serveing reasons

But of the debt to the outsider.....
