Reflection
Community
You cannot dismantle the master's house with the master's tools.
— Audre Lorde
आप मालिक के औजारों से मालिक के घर को नहीं गिरा सकते।
— ऑड्रे लॉर्डे
Why this matters:
To create a new community, we must use new methods based on cooperation rather than competition. Service must be reimagined to empower people rather than just managing their symptoms of oppression.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
एक नया समुदाय बनाने के लिए, हमें प्रतिस्पर्धा के बजाय सहयोग पर आधारित नए तरीकों का उपयोग करना चाहिए। सेवा की फिर से कल्पना की जानी चाहिए ताकि लोगों को सशक्त बनाया जा सके, न कि केवल उनके उत्पीड़न के लक्षणों का प्रबंधन किया जाए।
