Spanding too much time alone weakens the body’s ability to fight disease. It also increase heart rate and causes feelings of depression. Spending time with friends and family has the opposite effect. In our busy live, how can we create a stronger sense of community with the people around us?. Here are a few suggestions.

• Do someting. Taking action contributes more than just talking. When we take the time  to help someone in a real way, it shows that we really care.
• Keep promises. Breaking promises is the fastest way to destroy trust, and trust is the  foundation of community. If you say you will do something, do it.
• Avoid secrets. Too many secret create an atmosphere of mistrust. On the other hand,  sharing information shows a desire to include other people.
• Listen. When someone has a problem, talking about it can help enormously. Listening   same that you care.

There are of course, bigger steps we can take toward building community, but these four suggestions are possible for anyone. Indonesian wasn’t built in a day, and we can only build our community one step at a time.
