I have an idea that a society is a network of relationships. The more vibrant the society is, the stronger and more enduring those relationships are. This is like a visual image of a spider web, lace, or a loosely woven net. People are nodes and the strength of the society is the number of enduring connections each node has. The homeless have almost no connections. The society with homeless is like a big fishing net with gaping holes in it. The happy family person with a job that is rewarding and enjoyable is like a fuzzy ball with hundreds of links. The closely knit tribal society, or happy community, is like a well woven blanket.
What kind of fabric does your life weave?
