It may appear that you have been delivered to a town/place as a victim, as one in need. It could be, in fact, that the place has been delivered instead unto you. Every community is a field in which seeds can be planted, plants can be watered and from which fruit can be eaten. How we arrive there does not necessarily govern the role we are to play there.
And when we enter a field...do not be deceived about where the governing spirit may reside. It is not always in the selectman's home or governor's mansion. No. The governing spirit of a place can be residing in the temple which gets drunk every day and sleeps in the park. From there, it sees all things, the true heart of a community. If it is treated poorly, it may fly from it's abode in the vessel in the park to posses the selectman, the governor, to enact more confining laws upon the community and then go get drunk and enjoy the chaos it has created in vengeance for the way it was treated.
One will often find that where the poorest are treated badly, the heavier the taxes and the more controlling the laws governing. One might find that the kinder and more generous the community is with the "lowest" of themselves, the less governing the authorities.
No, not everything is necessarily what it seems. The "neediest" may be the wisest able to deliver the average population from under mountains of conditioning: familial, societal, social. How much we are able to deliver others from under depends on the mountains we have moved from upon/within ourselves.
You may be the shepard in any given moment, and in any given moment, you may be a part of the field.
