community
well, I think that I have commented on this subject before. I currently live on the North Shore of Chicago though I do not want my life to be about aquiring things. I was thinking though, how much an obsession with the material life depletes the quality of community one experiences (does that make sense?). how important community is--for all aspects of health, well-being, happiness. (do not be the stranger!) to know and be known is so important physically, mentally, spiritually.well, I think that people who have an obsession with materialism, even slighly, how much it depletes from being close to other people, which is really better. I'm thinking about one person in particular. Materialism (any idol instead of God, obviously) is just deception. A person is confused into thinking that some material things, more things than they already have, will bring happiness, when really it is better relationships that will bring this happiness. better closeness into community.
