Politicians can't fix us. Here's what can: men and women focusing on the home and women especially saying no to careerism.

Women have always worked and there's no issue with that within the context of supporting the home. Only in the last few decades have women believed its normal to work a long time away from their children. Only recently have we been taught that marriage and motherhood are side gigs to a career.

This has caused a lot of issue in society. It's hard to balance a husband's needs with a career. This has put a strain on marriages. Divorce rates have skyrocketed with the majority of them being iniated by women.

People are less healthy. Cooking at home from Mom is becoming substituted with microwave meals and fast food. No one has time to cook anymore if everyone's working full time.

Children are broken. They don't want to be shipped off to strangers. They crave their mother's attention.

Neighborhoods are not communities anymore. It was the women being present that gave rise to a sense of community and fun among neighbors. That sense of community is very hard to come by now.

Women weren't always measured by how they could compete with men. We were priceless because our very presence had a civilized effect on everyone. We were treasured as aunties, grandmas, mother's, sisters, and daughters.

We are taught now that motherhood is an unwanted burden and we waste our most fertile years in college and establishing a career only to not be able to have children later when we want them so desperately.

We have got to get away from careerism and go back to women specializing in the nurturing role we thrive in and not the competitive role that makes tends to make us sick, fat, and miserable.

Home is not the main focus of the Bible.

The main focus of the Bible is our wholesome relationship with God.

I think the home and family has been the natural way humans have existed throughout time. The family was the first institution for humans. Its where everything else stemmed from.

Its only because of a particular worldview belief of individualism that is negating this basic archetype as the first and most basic way of ordering humans in the world.

Along with individualism is materialism and the two go hand in hand. As humans have developed more tech its allowed people to become the gods of their own world. Or they believe in such an idea more and more as time goes by.

Most philosophical scholars of human history agree that the basis for a strong society and nation is the traditional family. WE can trace the pattern of cultures deteriorating after the family breaks down.

Good strong families make good strong societies and nations. Rampant individualism puts the individual or group identity above the betterment of the family, society and nation. Its as simple as that.
