You can participate in a global community that organizes itself around particular issues and concerns. You can network for community. You can be part of a community network of communities. It is all possible through an expanded sense of relationship. My frustration with the eighties and with myself is that I find it difficult to have friends.
True friendship is as rare as community.
In our rugged individualism, true friendship seems as hard to find as true community. I want real friends and real community. But you must be vulnerable to have that. And share your feelings. Ask for help.
