WHEN FAMILY IS DISINTEGRATEDPaul Yang

I raise chickens in my backyard.
In cold winter days like now, they huddle and tango together to keep themselves warm.
![Page 3: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Individualism is a luxury chickens couldn’t afford.
They rely on each other for survival,
just like early human beings.
![Page 4: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Sometimes I wonder:
Are modern people really superior to chickens?
> ?
![Page 5: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why they formulated so many theories like -
individualism
feminism
homosexualism
marriage equality
![Page 6: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
to justify behaviors that are not to the best interests of the mankind as a whole?
![Page 7: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why they are so obsessed with self-interests and personal rights, but are apathetic to other people?
![Page 8: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why they mistreat, exploit, take advantage of, rob, abuse, torture and slaughter their own kind?
![Page 9: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why they greedily accumulate wealth far exceeding their needs at the expense of their fellow human beings?
![Page 10: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why little by little they abandoned all the values that held them together and made them strong as a species?
![Page 11: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
I realize that, as history has shown -
Evil sometimes prevailed over good,
and people lost conscience allowed themselves to go with the flow.
![Page 12: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Perhaps we come across such a time again.
![Page 13: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
I am not willing to give up hope, though, as we still see goodness in people like
firefighters
doctors without borders
and tango dancers alike…
![Page 14: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
I appreciate them because it takes a big heart to open your arms to others,
to provide a supporting shoulder for those in need,
and to be a good Samaritan.
![Page 15: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Tango is created by such people - immigrants and street women who are homeless, vulnerable, lonely, looking for a refuge in a strange land, yearning to be loved, and who are sympathetic to others like themselves.
![Page 16: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Like chickens, they huddle and tango together to keep themselves warm in a cold world.
![Page 17: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
I also see hope in parents who love their children and teach them to love each other,
to take care of their little brothers and sisters,
and to work as a team.
![Page 18: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
When such children grow up,
they will become responsible members of the society.
![Page 19: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Evil prevails only
when family is disintegrated,
when family values are lost,
when human bonds are faded away,
when everyone becomes egocentric,
And…
![Page 20: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
when individualism, feminism, hatred, divorce, single parent family, irresponsible sex, self-indulgence, gun culture and materialism become the accepted norms in a society.
![Page 21: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But I don’t think that will be the case forever, as history has also shown -
As long as there are men and women,
there will be love, family, children, and family values.
![Page 22: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
So evil cannot prevail for very long.
![Page 23: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Family is and will always be the cornerstone of human civilization.
![Page 24: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Our collective desire to survive and our collective conscience reject what is bad for us as a species.
![Page 25: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
After all, we a part of nature.
And the law of nature overrules the law of men.
![Page 26: When family is disintegrated](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58abc7941a28ab68068b5175/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Perhaps that’s why in times like this more and more people turn to tango now, a dance that connects us, a dance that is consistent with family values, a dance that teaches the world to love, and a dance in which many rediscovered conscience and compassion.
