I couldn't agree more. We have various levels of commitment and the levels tend to vary with the degree of community satisfaction. People tend to withdraw when they feel they are not valued, or its too hard to get things done, or for a variety of similar reasons, all of which could be lumped into satisfaction with the community.

I know that at times that I feel really good about living here, I'm more likely to take on more responsibilities. At times that I feel bedraggled because what of what I perceive as endless bickering and lack of good will, I tend to shift my energies towards other things/projects. I'd love to hear comments from others, exploring the relationship between the level of satisfaction people experience in the community, and the level of willingness to contribute time and energy.
