Quote: "it must be present in the individual as “a capacity for connectedness”—a capacity to resist the forces of disconnection with which our culture and our psyches are riddled, forces with names like narcissism, egotism, jealousy, competition, empire-building, nationalism, and related forms of madness in which psychopathology and political pathology become powerfully intertwined."
I'd like to propose: we ARE connected and CAN'T disconnect. Whatever we do we bring to the community.
The question for me is: how does a community 'work with', 'build with' competition, jealousy, egotism, nationalism etc.?
