Community Development
Ownership means, that which you have built with your own hands.
Knowledge is what you have used to make this thing.
Wisdom is the methods you used to make these things and the best methods of using materials.
Inheritance is when you have put all the previous together to remember how it all was done, that can be taught to others.
It has been said that "If you give a man a fish, he will be hungry tommorow, but if you teach him how to fish, he will hunger no more".
All these things are important when you want to develop a community, people have many different talents and attitudes, what would please one may make another angry or jealous. but all people realise they would like to be better than they are.
We know that there are three basic needs of all people, Food (including water), Clothing, & Shelter. All these come at the cost of people working together, people passing on knowledge, skills and techniques for the continuation of the survival of others. Along with this come the love, unity, morals and ethics to keep the people together.
Therefore people with a sound knowledge of building, hunting/agricultural & clothing skills are essential to a well developed society.
The future development of these skills rests in the hands of those who are willing to pass on what they know, .

6. Pity him who maketh a tryst with himself saying, I will be one of those who seek riches first and the kingdom of heaven as aftermath.
7. Pity him who saith, I would seek my brother after myself, for am I not greater to myself than my brother who is son of my father's flesh, not of mine own?
8. Thereat shall greater calamity befall, for he who saith, My brother is less than myself, courteth that calamity in circumstance wherein his brother shall say, Behold, I too care for myself, not for thee, O son of my father's flesh, not of mine own.
9. What profit shall come unto a man who looketh upon the world and findeth it fair, yet maketh no move to preserve its fairness or add to its beauty?
10. These things are potent: that man shall eschew selfishness, learn selflessness; make no mock of him who saith: Let us be glad for the sake of our brethren.
Golden Scrips Ch 121: 6-10.
