The Importance of Ecosystems Over Castles

The discussion highlights the concept of focusing on building ecosystems rather than castles within communities. By metaphorically comparing castles to church structures that isolate and protect, the idea emphasizes that larger structures often push marginalized individuals further away from resources. When leaders concentrate on expanding their castles, it detracts from the communal vision, leading to environmental and relational suffering. This shift in mindset encourages cultivating relationships and environments where growth can flourish organically rather than through artificial means.
