Education is the key to the growth and rise of every great and flourishing community. The more educated community members are, the more successful and fruitful will their endeavors be. A united community keeps itself strong by investing its wealth in education because it essentially matters. However, the less involved community members are, the more value the community loses. The less caring the residents of a community are, the more selfish they become towards the well-being of their community. The less caring and selfish members of a community are, the less educated and productive they appear to be. So, it is of great importance that residents of a community cherish education as much as they'd value marriage and cherish their family. A great community takes proud in, supports and praises its caring and open-minded members. Therefore, education must be a priority in every community's agenda.

Education and Community
"When asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated, Aristotle answered, "As much as the living are to the dead.""
Diogenes Laertius (fl. 2nd century). http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/eduquote.htm
