This expression is taken from Matthew 19:6. Jesus went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. As always, a large crowd followed Him. Pharisees came up to him and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” His somehow mysterious answer was, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Individualism is considered one of the defining features of modern societies, and the reasons for its emergence are multifaceted, encompassing spiritual, psychological, social, and civilizational factors.
As an ideology prioritizing personal interest, individualism is often opposed to collective values and identity, contributing to the deepening of the crisis of meaning in the modern world.
