RE: How do we heal our relationship with money? Community.
I think there is a big influence that community size has on how much people become lost in pursuit of money above all else. People value relationships more and also can make decisions based on relationships more when they personally know the people involved. Or at least know they are only 1 degree removed from everyone involved.
The larger the economy gets, the more people feel no connection to others. So everyone becomes just someone to climb over who is trying to take from you before you take from them. Within real community though, we care about everyone thriving. We make decisions with that in mind.
This is a great initiative. I look forward to seeing how it develops.
That was really well said @indigoocean. Right now we are a tiny niche community of a few dozen people, but we are growing. Being worldwide gives us opportunity to grow, but being committed to steem homesteaders will keep us limited on how big we can grow. Even still, we may face growing pains one day if we grow to a certain point because we will be faced with the challenge of keeping our relationships, ethics and values as a larger group. Hopefully we can keep it organic and keep this conversation open as we evolve! thanks for your thoughts :)
