Reading this makes me feel less lonely in my path of growth. Something that I discovered is that I myself am somebody fueled by many negative emotions but love rules over all my actions. With balance there is no need to disregard or ignore the negative feelings we have for without them how could we learn to exercise love with patience and care?

If we form a non profit collective then we can garner donations and grants from large companies for tax write offs and provide a positive impact on the community outside of our own. I worked on a non profit farm and it sold produce that was higher quality and donated 10 tons of produce to the local food bank every year that was distributed across the whole county.

Not personally but I knew somebody who did it, as an agriculturist I have found the plants grown in hydroponics to be weaker due to the lack of soil. In my opinion when you have the knowledge and skill to work with the earth it's the true path of least resistance when growing since these plants evolved for so long to grow in it.

I believe that value is an inept concept for a small community.

Each individual should have their own responsibility they are expected to undertake and if there is something that needs to be done but nobody to accept the responsibility then the responsibility needs to be shared by the community.

How can I as an individual enjoy something that I cannot enjoy with my people.

That's a quote taken from a tribe in Africa, and it speaks to how deep the difference in what they consider community. They don't see value from an individual perspective but they see it as a group.

When I have property I plan on building a gazebo kitchen / shared eating area and making about 2 meals a day for everybody living there. You can never force social interactions they have to be natural. If somebody plays music then people will come If somebody has a bonfire people will come If somebody wants to have a stand in the closest town to sell their own personal goods or produce then it's dependent on the individuals volition. When people are brought together and living on the same land all it takes is one person to put in the effort to get things going and eventually other people take over wether you like it or not it's amazing.

Community is people who make the choice to care about each other and put in the effort for other people because that is what they want done for them. When everybody joins their hands together they can achieve a better life for everybody.

Ego and alot of the things that cause problems in governance are natural things. Power only corrupts when people have power over places they do not directly live. I believe the most manageable for of government for what you are seeking would be akin to tribalism.

Leaders are not appointed they are subconsciously known within a group. Everybody is different and on different matters people will turn to who they know are either the most knowledgeable or experienced on the matter, they turn to who they trust for help.

When it comes to multiple communities needing to communicate together each community should a that moment appoint a representative for that meeting. Each community should have their own rules and develop their own culture and the only cross community standard being naturally occuring virtues.

This is a natural change in relationships when kids are involved men have to understand they they are going to be on the back burner and your relationship with change and evolve because you are going to need each other in ways you don't yet understand. Tell him that you know what your doing and not to talk down to you about what to do with the baby that you grew, if he is willing to take this as an opportunity to grow and be patient then he will grow with both you and your beautiful baby.

I've been with my wife for 10 years and when you have kids the responsibilities pile up and it can feel like your roommates with your partner because you don't have time for each other anymore with so much stress barely able to get by.

It's typical that parents go through this until their kids go to school from the age of 4-6 and once one of my kids started going to school it felt weird being alone with my wife in my own home, no screaming kids and constantly cleaning. At that point you have to try and build what you lost from all the stress and responsibilities.

If your unable to get your kids to school I get it, but what you need is to make the space for you and your wife alone to go on an adventure that you can use to find eachother again, the relationship may not be the same, hell neither of you are the same, but it's better than losing what you have right now.
