It was designed to enslave us...to make us focus superficially on ourselves without a spiritual or deeply emotional connection to those around us.
An individual can be broken, subjugated, or marginalized easily. A strong strong family gives emotional and spiritual PURPOSE and genuine FULFILLMENT to each individual within that family. Stability and self reliance of a family begets STRENGTH and CONFIDENCE, which is the bedrock for PERSEVERANCE.
These are not the traits of slaves...
