"The in-born creativity in all people is no mean or accidental thing. Neglect it or disregard it and it becomes an inner source of poison. It can destroy you and all your human relationships. On a mass scale it can .... Nay it will inevitably destroy society. On the other hand .... Nothing will stop the flowering of a society that manages to give free rein to the creativity of its people - ALL its people. It is the essence of our times that communities should start NOW to lead their people to self-reliance, work enjoyment and creative opportunities. This is a thing that cannot be ordered or organised from the top. We cannot look to bureaucrats of Governments to unleash this creative power. It is a job to which we can only LOOK TO OURSELVES. E.F.
