The king signals for a couple of noblemen to hide behind a curtain. He shushes the princess and a noblewoman. SURPRISE! The king has organized a party for the queen, who, unfortunately, feels startled, embarrassed and uncomfortable.
"Once upon a time, there was a man who sought to build a positive community."
The notion of community
As human beings we need the sense of belonging to a community and the experience of doing worthwhile things with others. It takes an active and positive effort to nurture our communities. If we fail to nurture them, they risk falling apart or developing into negative communities. A good community has room and resources for dealing with the individual members’ worries and dissatisfaction, so that joy and vitality can thrive.
Good communities are dynamic and in constant development. They are based on trust, respect, love and contact. What we can achieve in a community with others far exceeds the sum of our individual achievements. Synergy, creativity, inspiration and shared joy – they all thrive and blossom in human communities.
