Part 11/15:
Historically, religion and priestly classes served as guides—teaching wisdom, morality, and social cohesion. Their absence today leaves a void filled by societal conformity, denial, and immaturity. Without these guiding frameworks, civilization struggles to sustain itself, evidenced by crises in Greece, Rome, and 20th-century Europe.
The loss of moral anchors and traditional roles fosters individualism, which, without community and shared values, leads to societal breakdown. The collective strength of family, tribe, and shared purpose is the glue that holds societies together.
