ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Homonoia

Okay kiddo, imagine you and your friends are playing a game and someone cheats. You all get upset and start arguing with each other about who's right and wrong. Homonoia is when everyone agrees to put their differences aside, work together, and be friendly again. It's like saying, "let's stop fighting and be nice to each other so we can keep playing and having fun." It's important to have homonoia because it makes things easier and more pleasant when everyone gets along and works together towards a common goal. Just like how you and your friends need to cooperate to finish a game, people in a community need homonoia to live peacefully and happily together.
