You and What Army? Redefining Self and Community

We are capable of giving ourselves 100% within a culture of conformity to others. Our attention to who we truly are can help to separate truth from fiction and allow for us to walk together with others in a path toward self-actualization. By extension then, when we recognize that others are walking in their truth, we can come to appreciate their authenticity and diversity. Like a highway, diversity represents the lanes of commute. When we provide smooth pavements for our community, there is no incentive to gatekeep those whom we think should reach their destination/truth while leaving others to stand on the shoulder of the road. We can easily coordinate and emancipate others so that they can reach and experience their truth.
