Are You Part of a Community?

The ego mind is moving beyond the previous opportunist stage. Now i am part of a community, and now it's notjust about my own needs being met. So here the ego wants to play by the rules. And so it goes all the way towards group centered thinking. There's an in group and there's an out group, us and them. Everything fits into these two simple categories. Being part of a group offers protection and a share of its power but the price to pay is for this inclusion, is loyalty and obedience.
