communal living


i want to live communally, but i'm afraid of getting taken advantage of.
i wish we could all just share everything.
i think the idea of claiming land, putting up a fence, calling it your own, and not letting anyone else enter is an interesting idea, although now completely socially acceptable and necessary. but i feel like if it never existed, then it would never need to.
i hate money. if it never existed, it would never need to.
if we all just loved each other, and instead of hoarding up our excess, we just shared, and took what we needed, then the world would be pleasant.

these are all thoughts of an idealist.

*i realize there are colonies of communal living sprouting up. they are not exactly what i had in mind. they're for the benefit of the planet, not so much the disadvantaged.

This sounds like Paradise. Only problem is that there are too many "Sons of Adam" lurking about.

sorry Katy... people are lazy and greedy. They will not work to share their things and they always want better things than others.
I am sure you could find a nice trailer community like the one pictured though...

although it may take some convincing to get me to visit you. JK!

yes katy, i agree! communal living sounds great. yeah it's the "thoughts of an idealist" but loving others unconditionally is also a pretty far-fetched/ideal action. i think that this could work
