The difference with a concrete community of moral calling is that it, at the very least, forces us out of our own individuality in order to learn how to reckon with others. At its best, it calls us to be better than we are.
Understanding this distinction helps us recognize that self-acceptance, self-worth, and the common good depend not on indulging our proclivities or tastes but on growing together with our neighbours into better people.
Everybody wants to fight for their rights,
but nobody wants to talk about their responsibilities.
A republic requires citizens; entertainment requires only an audience.
