RE: The eight blind spots of humanity, and what we can do about them on steemit!
Well, it seems that I misapprehended your post. The skill I would think of then is known as communication. That doesn't fix the blind spot, but it will inform the person with the blind spot of what he is missing.
And when you mentioned community, the word that immediately comes to mind is "collaboration". Skills are taught with collaboration in a community of people. For this reason, we find common ground on the fallacy of self-sufficiency. I tried to believe the rugged individualist thing, and even tried to be one myself. Whew. That one unhappy experience.
Anyway, I'm glad to have made your acquaintance and look forward to further correspondence.
Likewise. True community is far deeper, with bonds that are sacred. It is not mere collaboration, any more than a marriage between a man and a woman in true love is mere collaboration. Such connections are not transactions. What a man does for his woman is done because that's what a man does. It is unconditional. What a woman does for her man is likewise unconditional and a manifestation of who and what she is; she doesn't do it to reward or to control her man, and she does not do it out of fear or to gain power over him.
It's all about morals, about unselfishness, about love. Real love.
