Chapter 40: Chapter 39: A sense of community

Community.

Community is the most important feature of any part of civilization, no matter the scale that one finds themselves at.

The community of a nation decides its stability and prosperity.

The community of a city decides the joyfulness and the economic opportunity of those who live there.

The community of a home decides the safety and the love of those who nest there.

Even those who often find themselves as wandering outsiders, adventurers, have a sense of community. It is found on the large scale in the adventuring guilds of the world, where they set up shop and gather. In the smaller scale, adventurers find community in their adventuring parties, their groups.

It doesn’t matter which social-concept you look at. Eventually, somehow, community plays into it in an integral way. As for those who find themselves on the outside of all of these systems, those who do not have community, but yet still yearn for it, they will eventually find their communities in the niches, where others like themselves gather. Even in loneliness, there is community to be found.

And if you are not in a place where you have found one yet, my suggestion to you is simple — Go on an adventure.

If there is no community for you where you are now, then why are you staying? It is out there for you, if you have the courage to try and break free from your old patterns to find it.
