Day 13: Community

Contradictions.  Can the world be more confusing then Love Hate or Fire Ice.  Does that even make sense besides that I can recognize that the two contradict themselves.  This brings me to Derrida.  Community without Community.

Sure I can form myself into the 'Community' of people, aka the ones I work with.  But do I really becoming one with the community?  No, I never do.  Is there even a community?  Not exactly.  Yes, a group of people working together is a quote on quote community but is that even community?  The dictionary says the community is becoming one with others to achieve a common goal.  There is a sense of something while working in a group but I don't think it is a sense of community.  Actually, after reading a bit of Derrida, I think that community isn't exactly the right word.  If community isn't the right word, then what is?
