We live in an age where the family is considered by many to be an obsolete institution. Open-mindedness and tolerance are the buzz words (unless you stand for family values, that cannot be "tolerated"). People are looking to the wisdom of this age to find meaning and purpose in life (while the dominant teaching is that there is no meaning and purpose in this life). People are hurting. Depression is the disease of the 20th and 21st Centuries. Suicide seems like an option. People are searching for fulfillment yet they cannot seem to find it, no matter what they pay.
