There's no "I" in Community...

Okay...so maybe there is an "i" but you get the point.
Community is a funny thing. Lots of people talk about it, few people actually do it.
Community means different things to different people...a warm meal during a difficult time, a group to share feelings/beliefs/fears/victories with, or just simply a group with similar interests; Community is not THIS easy to define.
I am a part of many different communities. A family, a church, friends, an office, various online platforms...each one supporting me in differrent, yet complimentary ways.
So why write about community? What's the point? I believe the word itself (like so many words today) is thrown around without much notice. All you need is a good idea and a friend that is into coding, and you can build a "community." If you have cable, you can watch community. If you own a computer, you can join almost any community...but I think true community runs much deeper than commenting on a blog or following someone on twitter...doesn't it?
No answers today...just questions.
