Can A Civilized Society Exist Without Principles?

The principles of being civilized are principles.

Judging by conditions around the world, it doesn’t look like it.

As you see your life overwhelmed, trying to cope with everyday challenges. Wondering why is the world going mad.

You’re not alone there are good reasons to feel this way.

The people have lost their way. We’re wandering around aimlessly. We no longer have a clear direction. Feeling fear and anxiety growing ever stronger. Hopelessness and despair steal your happiness.

To see the connection, follow along to uncover the roots of the chaos and madness.

Can this all be related to a loss of principles?

Does humanity still believe in principles?

When you think about Principles what comes to mind? Do you give it much thought at all? For most of us, I don’t think so. I feel they were somehow instilled in me. Developed over my lifetime and experiences.

Yet, somehow it doesn’t seem to be inherited. Judging by the behavior of civilization is a dying thing. To better explain why it matters or doesn’t? It requires an agreed-on definition.
