The decline of the Greek family

Mark Richardson excerpts some fascinating thoughts on moral relativism and its impact on cultures (in this case the Greeks):

A family man would say that nothing could compensate for the joys of family, but in a society where the individual perceives himself as the centre of the universe committed to the proposition that all joys and pleasures are equal, the family becomes just another choice among others. When duty and virtue have become antiquated terms that one only finds in books no one reads, we have a declining society entangled in the most petty and ephemeral affairs.

Read the whole thing.
