What does it mean to know everyone knows your name? Well it means you have friend and you have allies and yes you may have enemies. The reality is it's important for social engagement for you to know all of the people in your life. Now I have to admit I don't know everyone personally in my 45 home sub-division. Now again notate the word sub-division. The division is taking place within your community. That is not a good thing. What happened to the kids having a free for all playing in the neighborhood. Maybe it still exists and I'm just unaware.
Now I'm starting off this blog with some very real life experiences that we may all deal with in today's world. The reality is it's hitting many of us in major ways.
I think it's important for safety and a social atmosphere for everyone to know each other but however many people just want to lock themselves in their home and could care less about others. I don't have an exact answer on how to overcome the latch-key parents you just need to try to keep working on it.
The facts are this people need to be social, now what is that social forum for the small community. Or how do you make the small community more small and vertical. We all may not have an answer. We also may choose to be like our parents in some ways and say well we cannot worry about what Jone's are doing we need to worry about our family. There is a lot of truth in both areas that need to be explored. However ti's really important as we move foward to understand what we all expected from the small town experience and why to this day we look back at that time with a feeling of happiness or sadness.
The part of this blog is what I'm debating is how real we can all be with each other. It could be very interesting in this was a very open platform but people would need to be willing to share in that enviroment.
Again I look forward to your thoughts and suggestions.
