Community

She explains that simplifying life by removing distractions, like television, fosters deeper connections with others, leading to a sense of peace and wellness 1. Jeff Krasno adds that while social media can offer a sense of community, it often feels superficial, and real connection requires being rooted within oneself 2.

Community is and you and me together and the dualism, not duality. Like, you're gonna win or I'm gonna win.
