People say:

“They don’t do this,

they don’t do that,

they ought to do this,

they ought to do that.”

Always “They”

and never “I.”

People should say:

“They are crazy

for doing this

and not doing that

but I don’t need

to be crazy

the way they are crazy.”

The Communitarian Revolution

is basically

a personal revolution.

It starts with I,

not with They.

One I plus one I

makes two I’s

and two I’s make We.

We is a community

while “they” is a crowd.
