I'm not the first person to say; I'm not the first person to even say it here. But something someone said really stuck with me: that he was partnering with imperfect people for a goal to make things better.

I was talking with a lot of people yesterday and they said that community isn't about forming emotional bonds, or requiring commitment to an ideology; it's about being there for each other. You don't have to commit to supporting someone forever; you don't have to be their best friend. You don't have to worry about if they have some problematic opinions or if they sometimes use insensitive language. Maybe they do all those things, maybe they do none of them. Is their heart in the right place? Are they helping to make things better? Are they not working to make things worse? You can work with them; they can be in your community.
