It is difficult in modern times to build a community that is expressed in physical proximity. Long before the current phenomenon, we all resigned ourselves to the fact that local events are insignificant. Unfortunately, this is now coming to pass. In principle, when people grow up in functioning communities, they know "a whole village". This means that you can certainly know around a hundred people personally, or maybe even a little more. If you know a whole village, you can organise yourself much better and be active with each other. But we live isolated, anonymous lives, both in big cities and in the countryside. Isolation has progressed a lot in the last two hundred years and now makes it difficult to find and meet each other. I have almost no contact with my flatmates in an apartment building in a big city. All these people mean little to me and I mean little to them because we have never tried to become friends. It is in the nature of things that this does not succeed. Randomly thrown together people who have no common past, it is very difficult to find out what they have in common. This total lack of relationship between people is due to our lifestyle, which usually involves a forty-hour week. Everyone is isolated from each other living in a house. Only living and working together makes community possible. So the solution can only be that a large part of the work would have to be given up in other people's companies that have nothing to do with you personally. Replaced by a considerable share of self-sufficiency and repair economy. Unfortunately, this will probably only happen if the tyranny continues. Because people only give up their lifestyles very involuntarily, i.e. rather not of their own free will, but because the situation demands it. People like me have seen this before and have voluntarily given up privileges that are not really privileges.
I am currently going through a period of reflection in my hometown. Which is here and where I still know people from before. Back then, there was still a functioning community here with family and neighbourhood-organised celebrations. However, these have declined in the course of the last decades, as have all the lived traditions. That is worrying and has been the wrong development. However, I did not recognise this, but rather always smiled at it somewhat snobbishly: the rituals of interpersonal relationships that I regarded as "outdated".
For about fifteen years now, I have been practising a return and only slowly detaching myself from my "modern" way of life. It is a long journey, a process of realisation and also of painful losses as well as beautiful gains. In the end, it is always about how we feel about dying, how much we are willing to accept our human existence as finite and not to gain dominion over the world in our unnecessary fear, which it will never give us anyway.
A long lead up to what you said: People need information. But because we all live in such isolation, we can't just go to the neighbour and ask him for a good book and so we never know exactly where something is taking place and when, where otherwise, where such things worked, all we had to do was look at the street.
You write about important issues and I appreciate this.
