Cohousing-L Mailing List: Loneliness and our craving for community

[Melanie G (gomelaniego]

Thank you so much for this video!  I often wonder how we can help each
other be less afraid or cynical of "Utopianism".  After all, everyone has
their own dream of the perfect world, and so we have billions of utopias in
our collective consciousness.  But still so many are fearful  of attempts
to make those dreams happen.

In hell, people have chopsticks a yard long so they
cannot reach their mouths. In heaven, the chopsticks
are the same length—but the people feed one another.
