Scott Peck (author of The Road Less Travelled) wrote a book called "The Different Drum: Community Making and Peace" where he said that communities grow through four stages:

1. Peck says the first stage is characterized by extreme pleasantness and conflict-avoidance and he calls it "Pseudocommunity".
2. The second stage is "Chaos" which centers around well-intentioned but misguided attempts to heal and convert, the underlying motive being making everyone "normal" which is not the same as experiencing "love".
3. The third stage is "Emptiness" where people try to reduce expectations and preconceptions; prejudices; ideologies; solutions; the need to heal, convert, fix or solve; and the need to control.
4. In the fourth stage, "Community", people have learned not to convert or heal or hide, but to listen, accept differences, and rejoice in each other. Then it is necessary to take on the task of maintenance which requires it to fall back into chaos or even pseudocommunity to keep it healthy and growing.

Suppose,

1. We always greeted each other with benificence and openness and often with expectation of joy.
2. When we run acroppers of each other, we quickly sensed it and returned to good sense and openness.
3. We accepted vulnerability in ourselves and in others and didn't need to fear it.
4. Superficial communication (platitudes) were only rarely needed.
5. Our words carried Love on their wings (or at least emotionally neutral information which is often bouyed by Love).
6. Poverty were seen for what it can give us, maybe not to be sought, but not to be feared either.
7. Disputes were resolved by peaceful conflict-resolution and reconciliation.
8. Love and trust left little room for fear and hatred.
9. We adapted well, found acceptance working in us, and aged gracefully.

If we'd like, we can further suppose,

1. We had no hesitation about doing away with poverty, hunger and homelessness, and we made it unnecessary for anyone to be hungry or homeless.
2. Racism and all forms of discrimination, bigotry and prejudice were replaced by an all-inclusive spirit of sisterhood and brotherhood.
3. Peace with justice prevailed over war and military conflict.
