154: The Disintegration of Society

Disintegration is a word you're probably familiar with. We've all heard the term "The disintegration of the family."   Well, what does disintegration actually mean?   Disintegration is the process of losing cohesion and strength. Cohesion is the combination of similar particles into one great whole. So disintegration is quite literally the falling apart, the coming apart of similar particles of people with similar standards and principles. "Dis" means "to lack". So you've heard of dishonesty; Dis-honesty means to lack honesty.   You've heard the phrase "Don't 'Dis' on me," I know that was popular when I was growing up "Hey don't 'dis' on me."   Well, dis-integration means to lack integration, to quite literally lack being a part of a unified whole.   So dis-integration (because it's a process) is going to start first with self; it is when I drop responsibility to myself and to God. And then the disintegration then goes to family, and when the family begins to disintegrate you see it economically, and then when it disintegrates economically, you start to see politics disintegrate.   This is happening right before our very eyes and then it goes to social and cultural and that's where we're at today.  We are literally seeing the disintegration of our society.
