<aside> 💡 To be a Citizen is to cultivate meaningful connection to a web of relationships and institutions. Citizenship benefits from a free and expansive imagination, the ability to see how things could be, not just how they currently are. To be a Citizen implies engagement, contribution, and action rather than a passive state of being or receiving. This is the most accurate sense of the word etymologically: Citizens are literally ‘together people,’ from the Latin, humans defined by the very fact of their togetherness. We tend to think it is the other way around, but ‘city’ in fact derives from the Latin civitas, which literally translates as the citizenry. As such, a city is literally a place where people are together. Likewise, ‘civil,’ ‘civilised,’ and ‘civility’ are all words for the art of relating and working and ultimately doing life together. – page 95, Citizens
