This is also a reaffirming cycle, as when the individual is productive, the community flourishes which in turn makes the individual feel more valued and therefore contribute more to that community. A society that enjoys healthy communities like this will become prosperous, as sure as two plus two equals four. This is another reaffirming cycle, as when society prospers, its communities will prosper as well. This is why freedom is so important. It benefits all three pillars of a prosperous society. The individual, the community, and society itself. Freedom has a positive ripple effect felt at all levels. This is why freedom is a quintessential value of a prosperous society and a free and fair democracy. Without it, society is doomed to fail.
