Quote by Eric Klinenberg

“infrastructure" is not a term conventionally used to describe the underpinnings of social life. But this is a consequential oversight, because the built environment -- and not just cultural preferences or the existence of voluntary organizations -- influences the breadth and depth of our associations. If states and societies do not recognize social infrastructure and how it works, they will fail to see a powerful way to promote civic engagement and social interaction, both within communities and across group lines.”

And barely wouldn't even care what will happen with your facebook account. Well maybe we can start with start living simple And could stop living like a pro, Because nothing in this world is worth of value to the One up above. Don't you know that none of us is born perfect, And no one else will be?”
