The day a community knows it doesn'
t need uplifting from an outsider or from anybody is the
day the community emerges from darkness. There is no light at the end of a tunnel, as
people were promised, but they have to help themselves figure that out on their own.
The community was liberated from
the darkness when it knew it would never need uplifting or morale
boosting from anyone or anywhere, because
people were already happy enough there without assistance.
