And more subtle but just as sure, the sickness spreads through suburb and supposed stability, incredibly expensive, seemingly incurable, unfixable by courts or welfare . . . Individual lives can teeter for quite a while on the edge, bereft of the ties of family and the anchor of faith and values. A whole society can do the same thing. Putting values back into our families. Values are best defined as what matters, what counts, what we care about.
Values are more than philosophy or a pleasant placebo of belief.
They are practical, practiced personal principles. They are the truest and most time-tested way to live, the single constant requirement of safe and stable society, and the key underpinning of real happiness. Most people know, intuitively and instinctively, what real values are and what family values are. Our goal is to rekindle them in our society and inside of individual parents, thus turning our hearts and saving our families. As we come to better understand the forces that are working against our families and at the peril of our children, we put ourselves in a better position to battle the problems and to find the saving solutions.
