The result is social policy that rewards the wrong behaviors, to the detriment of society but to the advantage of some politicians. AdvertisementThroughout history, people found meaning through faith, family, productive work, sacrifice, community, and raising children according to moral principles. When people abandon those responsibilities, they rarely stop searching for meaning. Unless it is accompanied by responsibility, faith, family, productive work, and voluntary sacrifice, people will search for meaning elsewhere. It is a prosperous civilization searching for meaning in all the wrong places—and one that will never find it there.
