Yep. The problem is so much deeper than education and economics. Poorly educated women suffer the same conditions.
Men and Women, particularly in urban areas, are not motivated to raise children as a primary goal.
A substantial segment of the population is not seeking to perpetuate itself. They are not living lives they deem worthy of passing on. Their values are transient or purely self centered. They are godless and unprincipled.
When God is taken out of people’s lives their reason for living is diminished.
“They are not living lives they deem worthy of passing on.”
Ding, ding, ding. Have you noticed or are you old enough to have noticed that laughter is becoming a strange and unusual sound? I grew up working in the hot sun of South Carolina and there was more laughter and general camaraderie among people picking cotton together, even if they didn’t really know each other, than is ever heard now. I mean REAL laughter, belly shaking laughter, the kind of laughter that eases physical pain and drives away demons. No little snickers. Does anyone even know what side splitting laughter means anymore? Has anyone on this forum other than I myself ever laughed until it actually hurt? Sure we use things like ROFLMAO but how many have ever actually rolled on the floor laughing? I have but it was surely a long, long time ago.
