RE: Anarchy and Emotion: A Heart-Based Philosophy for Transforming Society

That was a bit challenging for me to get through but there were a few times when I felt excited by what you said.

"Simply speaking, government is the result of people's lack of relational focus"
Totally! We don't trust each other or in humanity in general so we need an intermediary, we put our faith in a "necessary evil". One thing I may not have in common with all the voluntarinists (I'm still new to this concept) is... what about commerce? I see it as being the same. The value of currency is also tied to the trust people put in it. That is also trust That is there because we aren't putting the trust in each other. The culture of money and how it's used kind of impede us from truly trusting in each other.
