"The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish."
Simplified meaning
When a society values pleasure, comfort, and independence above all else, families can suffer because people start thinking only about themselves. Imagine a family member who is always focused on having fun, feeling good, and doing things alone. They might ignore the needs of others in their family. This kind of behavior can make everyone feel lonely and uncared for because the family is not working together or supporting each other. For a family to stay strong, it's important for each person to think about what's best for everyone, not just themselves. To keep a family happy and close, people should share, help out, and sometimes put the family's needs before their own.
