Thought for the day by Charles Handy on the disappearance of villages and how people must make their own communities in the modern age. Handy begins the thought discussing the celebration of the first hundred years of the Norfolk Parish Council. He proceeds to talk about how communities are no longer as tight-knit as they once were, and how people increasingly live off of their intellectual property -- their wits and their skills -- rather than the land, leading to increasingly more independence and detachment. Handy concludes his analysis remarking that people are all villagers at heart, and that we must each make our own villages however we can, which should be initiated by showing others that they matter through the act of giving.
