Another post on the subject of community:

I was reminded last night by one of my roommates that "it is not good for the man to be alone" (Genesis 2:18) precedes the account of the fall. I suppose that this could apply to community in general, as well as a description of marriage. This gives a nice Biblical basis for the idea that community is somehow essential. But why is it not good for people to be alone?

It seems that being an "individual" is an incomplete notion of what it means to be a human person. Individuality is part of being a person, but individual and person are not synonymous. There is something inherently lacking in being a solo individual. But the essential nature of community is still mysterious to me.
