This is a fundamental error in thinking.
We do not create "society" directly. We create homes and families. The sum of those homes and families is "society".
If you would affect "society", put your own home and family in order.
The mother of a family who are my neighbors spoke in church recently. Shen she was younger, she was offered a full-ride scholarship to Vasser, but turned that down to be a full-time mother.
A doctor once told her she would never bear children. She gave birth to her twelfth child about a year ago.
She spoke of talking with old classmates who had become very financially successful. They asked her what she had done over the years. She told them that she had decided to become a full-time mother rather than pursuing a career.
Her children are exceptional. They are very bright, well-mannered and excellent athletes to boot. Her sons are among the top wrestlers in the state. So far, the two oldest have received full-ride scholarships to universities. The younger ones appear to be on the same track.
My point is this: While this mother's classmates each have made their names and had their impacts on the world, she has multiplied her impact twelve-fold. Where one classmate did the great things one person can do, she is nurturing twelve who will have great impact.
That is how you change "society". Homes become society.
"We need to create a society which does not leave our young people behind as the few become richer," said Chuka Umunna, a trustee of the 409 Project in Lambeth, south London, which helps youths aged 10-17 involved in crime or at risk of offending.This is a fundamental error in thinking.
We do not create "society" directly. We create homes and families. The sum of those homes and families is "society".
Well said.When a "liberal" says "society," tho, he means nothing other than government. Whereas in reality there must be a difference between the two except in a totalitarian country. The difference between "society" and "government" is freedom.
