“Ahh, it’s that time of the year when it’s all about community.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, just look at Facebook. All those pictures from Garba, Navaratri, Durga Puja, etc… Everyone’s part of some community. A religious one, or a spiritual one, a cultural group, a social organization.”
“Ok.”
“But I am not part of a community.”
“Sure, you are.”
“No, I am not. I am connected to individuals but I am not part of a community.”
“That’s not true. I am sure that many consider you part of the community.”
“Well, it does not matter because I don’t see myself as part of it. The reason being, I don’t identify with the values of the community any more. So I can’t see myself as being part of it.”
“Hmmm, do you want to be part of it?”
Silence.
