It seems the problems here are deeper than it was originally thought. There has been a recent lull in activity, in terms of the projects, there is disappointment at Dan leaving, there is disappointment in his project, and there is a lot of infighting. Morale of the community in general, I would say, is at an all time low. There is a lot of bickering, personal attacks, and petty quarrels in our ranks. Key members are leaving at an alarming rate, or are seriously considering. There is a general feeling of frustration, disappointment and defeatism in the air. Right now we are not a unified community, and it is showing. This is understandable, but it is unacceptable.
As we stand right now we are uncertain about our future. Dan has left, and people’s spirits are low. We are unsure how to proceed. Right now there are threads, and discussions taking place talking about what kind of leadership structure we want for the tribe. Whatever we choose as our future, we must do it as a community. As a unified community. As a strong unified community. Before we decide how to move forward, we must BECOME a strong unified community.
It no longer matters who agrees with Dan’s project and who doesn’t. It no longer matters what you want our focus as a community should be, that is not our priority now. The quest for our noble cause is currently irrelevant, and the method for finding that noble cause is also irrelevant. Before we do ANYTHING we must unite as a community. That is the priority right now. To rebuild ourselves as a community. Everything else can be worked on later.
It doesn’t matter which system you support for our “government”. It does not matter if you think it’s dumb or not. None of this matters. We need to reunite. As we are now, we cannot succeed. It is time to set aside any personal differences, any difference in opinion, any previous grievances that we have with each other, and start fresh as a community. We can succeed, we can achieve what we want to achieve, but we need to be united. This problem is bigger than any one of us, it is bigger than any individual quarrels, it is bigger than our individual differences. This problem is with us as a community, and as such we must rectify them as a community, as a collective, as more than an individual, but as a whole.
I therefore ask of everyone on SPOTM. Let’s start fresh. Let’s let bygones be bygones, lets set aside our differences, let’s set aside our quarrels, let’s start over. Every community has its high points and it’s low points, some are higher than others, some are lower than others. However each is a valuable experience and in fact helps a community strengthen ourselves. Imagine how strong we will be as a tribe if we are able to overcome this? Imagine how strong we will be as a tribe if we can look back on this point in time, and say “wow, we overcame that we can overcome anything”. Imagine how strong we will be as a tribe if we can truly act as a collective each for the benefit of the collective!!!
So let’s move on, let’s rebuild, let’s overcome! Let’s become the community we know we should be! Let’s become the community we know we can be! Lets become the community that can do anything, that can laugh in the face of adversity, overcome any obstacle!!! Let’s become a community that can change the world.
