S2 Ep. 127 Fargin

What is the best way to live and achieve your dreams here on earth? Would it be to embrace an individualistic and private life? Or to pursue that communal lifestyle that is seemingly generalistic in its conveyance and delivery? The place of exchange in building a lasting and rewarding life cannot be downplayed, but this heavily depends on the prevailing culture within that defined frame of community or society.

Now before taking this conversation to where I am headed, let us look at communal living versus individualistic living;

Communal living is where people live together and share living spaces, resources, and responsibilities. This can take many forms, such as intentional communities, co-housing communities, eco-villages, and communes.

In communal living, individuals often share a common vision or values and work together to create a cooperative and sustainable lifestyle. They may share tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and maintenance and resources like food,
tools, and vehicles.

Communal living has many potential benefits, such as increased social connections, reduced living expenses, and a lower environmental impact. However, communal living may also have challenges, such as conflicts over resources or decision-making and a need for clear communication and boundaries.
Overall, communal living can be a rewarding experience for those who value collaboration, community, and sustainable living.

The opposite of communal living is typically called individual or private. This refers to living arrangements where individuals or families live independently in separate spaces and are responsible for living expenses, resources, and maintenance. Individual living includes living in a single-family home, apartment, or condominium, where each unit is separate and private. Individual living generally prioritizes personal autonomy and privacy over community and shared resources. Individuals in private living arrangements typically have more control over their living space and lifestyle choices but may also experience social isolation and higher living expenses.

The nature of mankind is social, an existence that longs for communication and friendship. This points to what I consider interesting and should be embraced and practiced. The above scenario presents itself in a word I came across recently and have decided to discuss on the show. FARGIN;

"Fargin" is a Yiddish word that means "to care about" or "to have compassion for" someone or something. It can also be translated as "to envy positively" or "to be happy for someone's success." In essence, it is an expression of goodwill towards others and a desire to see them succeed and be happy.

The above points to a unique situation that points to the very essence of everyone within a community
