"Community is a safe place precisely because no one is attempting to heal or convert you, to fix you, to change you.  Instead the members accept you as you are,  You are free to be you.  And being so free, you are free to discard defenses, masks, disguises: free to seek your own psychological and spiritual health."
   -M. Scott Peck

:) That's a pretty idealistic definition.
I think we tend to seek to limit and change people as much as we do so with our own selves. As kind as we are with ourselves is as kind as we can be to others. So, really the health and freedom in the community depends on the health and freedom of the individuals in it.
