I want to live in a community where everyone cares.
- spencerflem 2y agoThis is largely a political problem, I'd start there
- ivraatiems 2y agoTrust me: You don't. You'd go insane. See for example everyone who has to live with an HOA.
- liontwist 2y agoIs that what caring about people in your community looks like? Or some kind of property value paranoia and sense of control.
- jeffreygoesto 2y agoClassically underspecified, you are right. The care has to be about others and respecting them, not about oneself. Like in a good partnership. Care about giving, not taking. But as the article frustratedly states, it usually goes the other way. Like Jethro Tull progressing into desillusion from https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=luDfuZkeqKU https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=luDfuZkeqKU to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f7SGq7jMdSU https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f7SGq7jMdSU This planet is such a beautiful marble and all we do is trample it with our feet. Guys, make a random somebody smile today, will ya?
- andrewstuart 2y agoThat's Japan.
- lazide 2y agoEh, Japan is mostly a place where everyone is afraid to not ‘be Japanese’. It can be quite stressful.
- janislaw 2y agoReading the original article I reflected: "I can totally see how this can happen, but for some reason it doesn't happen where I live" I moved to Switzerland 9y ago. People care. I believe this is due to high trust society which evolved not that long ago from small, poor, tightly woven communities.
