The Power of Community - Richard E. Simmons III

Where do you find community? Do you feel isolated from others?
Philip Zimbardo, a psychologist who taught at Stanford, and by the way was a Christian, says this:

"There's nothing more detrimental to a person's life than isolation. There's no more destructive influence on physical and mental health than the isolation of you from me and us from them."
Zimbardo believed a primary strategy of the evil one in the times that we currently live is to trivialize human existence by isolating us from one another, so that we lose the power of community. Then he creates the delusion that the reasons for our isolation are merely time-pressures, work demands, economic uncertainties, etc.

What can we conclude from these observations?

Living in isolation without being in relationship with others is not only detrimental to our mental and emotional health, but it can lead to destructiveness. >>Watch on YouTube
