People don't appreciate what they have

People don't appreciate what they have. Every day I thank... well i don't thank God, but I thank science and chance for not only making me human, a creature able to comprehend its own existence, but put in the top percentile in terms of wealth. 20% of the population having 80% of the wealth... does that seem fair? well no it doesn't but because of this we have lots of extra time to sit about and write in blogs all day.. But WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO? complain... complain complain complain... ah this traffic is terrible! oh look that person didnt wash their hands(haha)! our political system is terribly corrupt! It seems that no matter what situation we are in we complain that we don't have enough... ok, ok i'm starting to rant but this is tantamount to the issue of community development i promise. So here it is. When does a communtiy decide it has enough resources, enough abilities and enough facilities? Can a community ever been sustainable? I understand the idea behind community sustainable, to create a community that is a constant cycle of growth, well not growth... but nurture.. nurture so it does not rot and turn to ash.. but i also believe that in order to have a sustainable community the community and the individuals that reside within the community need to look at what they really need.. and im talking about NEEDS here not WANTS. Do we really need a $5,000,000 hockey when the number of schools in are community is at an all time low? Communities are stuck in idealogy that they need to be in a constant process of development in order to be looked at as successful to other communities and this leads to inappropiorate spendings on non-effective resources and facilities. Why not hold on to that money until you actually need it?
