Cultures can vary significantly, and can change over time. Here in the UK, in days gone by the accent was more on social priorities, whereas these days the 'out for self' philosophy would seem to dominate more, with social priorities taking more of a back seat. In times of emergency, individual priorities have had to take the back seat, the security of the nation becoming the main priority. In less urgent times it would seem that a balance between individual and social priorities needs to be struck - ?
The growing season here at the organic micro-holding (small smallholding)in the UK midlands hasn't been too bad with decent crops of broad beans, potatoes, calabrese, peas and salads items, and with other crops such as beetroot, onions and parsnips coming along well. In response to high inflation rates - especially in food and energy - more stuff's been planted and more produce -beans and peas - has been stored by freezing.
The balance between individual and social priorities is examined further, then community living is introduced, being particularly relevant both to the main topic, and to the daily life relating to the micro-holding, adding further diverse dimensions to day-to-day living, and so with luck contributing more life meaning -----
