It is not time to rededicate self and others to the traditional values and ideals which led persons and communities into the pattern of disintegration. It is time to recognize how traditional disintegrative ideals and values led many to behave in disintegrative ways; by way of disintegrative assumptions, attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, uses of languages, and approaches to problems and dilemmas. It is not time to return to old ways. It is time to discern new integrative alternatives to old disintegrative ways. Attempts to return to traditional ideals and values which are seen nostalgically through the contemporary filters and lenses---are bound to lead further into the contemporary patterns of disintegration --- where people look through filters which make traditional disintegrative ideals and values appear good for the promotion of confident self-righteousness. The ways of self-righteousness lead to personal and communal disintegration; not to the true righteousness of honestly humble people who do justice, lover mercy and walk humbly in the presence of God.
