In
today’s world if something doesn’t generate wealth it is usually considered
to be of little value. Like many other precious and essential things in life,
the family has been discarded and devalued until in some places it hardly
exists.
Isn’t
it strange that there is so much instability in today’s world, so many social
problems, suicide, addiction, mental illness, and general unhappiness and all
this occurs at a time when the family has disintegrated, often beyond
recognition?
Yet
we find that even in poorer countries where all the same elements of access to
drugs, promiscuity and so on exist, the young people have a much firmer setting
in life because the family structure remains strong and intact.
