What Sebastian Junger means

The beauty of communal life is that it allows the individual to be both strong and vulnerable, seen and supported - Sebastian Junger
At its core, this quote means that true community doesn't force you to choose between being independent and being interdependent. It's the one space where those two things aren't opposites; they actually fuel each other.
