    I have a friend who lives in a “bad neighbourhood”. Everyone looks out for one another. Harm anyone in that street and you’re in deep shit.

    My aunt also lived in a close community. When she died, they had to hire security to guard houses because the entire neighbourhood was at her funeral. She and her husband had looked after them, they’d looked after her after my uncle died.

    The human race will not survive without empathy and community.
