“But in another way, community is a terrible place. It is the place where our limitations and our egoism are revealed to us. When we begin to live full-time with others, we discover our poverty and our weakness, our inability to get on with people, our mental and emotional blocks . . . our seemingly insatiable desires, our frustrations and jealousies, our hatred and our wish to destroy.”
Journal on the deep recesses of Vanier's quote. How do you meet yourself in community? What place do you allow for your ego? How do you respond when meeting your ego? How about your desires, frustrations, jealousies, and hatred?
