Call the attention of persons to community

Call the attention of persons to community. Here it is that they get their sustenance and nurture; here it is that they belong; here it is that they can find life expansive. Life expands when you help others. It is not about getting for yourself, but about about expanding life—life of the community and life itself.

Will people understand, let alone take this in?

It may be a matter of reminding people of their own stories of giving and being part of a community. Ask them for these stories.

When have you given yourself heart and soul to some one else? To a project or movement? Dropped everything because some one needed you? What did that feel like?
