What sort of national [
Australian ? ] culture is our society 'fostering' today ?
A drug culture ?
A 'steal everything' culture ?
A
Capt'n Jack Sparrow's motto culture ? ...."Take what you can, give nothing back."
A rape your daughter culture ?
A bash your wife, to keep her in her place, culture ?
A scam $millions from the government culture ? WWW search... "daycare scam that cost taxpayers $8 million a week"

WE DID IT ! WE ARE RESPONSIBLE.
WE vote the stewards [the government members] into power [giving them authority to change and enact laws and bring in new government policies], to manage our affairs [
the affairs of the nation].
And it is our parliamentarians [the government] that set the 'tone' in their policies, for our societal culture, and for the education of our young people.
Q.Where is the personal restraint, and where is the moral example for our young people being shown ?
It isn't.
We live in a;
"Me! Me! Me! Me!", social culture,
and a
"I want it! And i want it NOW !", social culture.
Q.When do we teach children to be
provident and wise ?
We don't.
provident = = making or indicative of timely preparation for the future.Silly people.

Isaiah 1:7
Your country is desolate,
your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Isaiah 1:21
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
Isaiah 3:11
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Isaiah 29:13
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder:
for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid..
Never old.IMAGE....
QUESTION;Why aren't we emphasizing
THE VALUE inherent in these moral precepts, to our young people, as they grow up around us ?
Couldn't we
even just place an emphasis on the 5 to 10 ones ?
inherent = = existing in something as a permanent or essential attribute.Is it because we [as a nation,
as a people], are
too PROUD to be 'instructed' by such 'inappropriate ' and 'silly', 'old fashioned' precepts ?
Do you think that an 'accounting' won't be extracted from all of us, for all of our sins ?
A retribution ?
Silly people.
Choices made,
always bring consequences. [i.e.
causes --- > symptoms]
Q.Do you believe that, that assertion just a 'fairytale'?
No, this is
pure scientific method, which is being played out in our lives.
It is a law which is always in operation within the universe.
People like
Isaac Newton knew of, and understood the operation of such laws.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
