Community is a key word here. By community, we don't mean the four blocks around our house, the few square miles of our town, or even our region, province, or other unit. We mean the community of the world. What we do affects our community, and that means the world. By opening our eyes, our ears, and our hearts to the world, we become a much better part of it.
