 It wasn't too long ago if your roof were leaking, you wouldn't hire roofers and you wouldn't necessarily fix it yourself either, but your neighbors would help out. If the cows got out, you wouldn't have to bring them back yourself, neighbors would help out. So over time when everyone has done stuff like that for everyone else, where everyone you see has at one time helped you out or helped out your mother or your child, then you know that you are not alone and you have an abiding sense that you need these people and they need you. So then you know that you belong. You feel at home here. And isn't that what so many of us really are missing today when we talk about community is this feeling of belonging? One way to understand the disintegration of community is that the gift relationships that bound it together have been turned into goods and services that we buy. So for example, if our house burns down, we no longer rely on the community to build another one, we source that from an insurance company.
