To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right. --Confucius
The hierarchy of sociological needs always begins with ourselves. No collection of people can exist without individuals.
Families are at peace, when the individuals of that family are at peace with themselves. Communities are at peace, when families are at peace. Once the family breaks down, the community is not far behind. If communities break down, society breaks down.
We can analyze this all day long, the bottom line is: It all begins with the individual.

Too bad the individuals of this country want the government to put their lives in order first.
It really is that simple when boiled down. Well said.
