It’s only natural that when we search for a sense of belonging, we will be attracted to the smaller community.
PHILOSOPHER: “That is a perceptive observation. So let’s start thinking about why we should be aware of multiple and larger communities.
As I stated earlier, all of us belong to multiple communities.
We belong to our households, our schools, our workplaces, and the local societies and the countries in which we live. This far you agree, yes?
YOUTH: “Yes, I do.” PHILOSOPHER: “Well, suppose that you, as a student, regarded the community that is ‘school’ as absolute.
In other words, school is everything to you, your ‘I’ exists because of school, and no other ‘I’ is possible without it.
But naturally, there will be occasions within that community when you run into adversity.
It could be getting bullied, or not being able to make friends, or not keeping up with your schoolwork,

you won’t have that ‘It’s okay to be here’ sense of belonging.
