Summary

This quote suggests that the decline of institutions in society is not solely the fault of the institutions themselves, but rather a result of our own shortcomings. When we lose the fundamental instincts and values that give rise to the creation and maintenance of institutions, we become incapable of upholding and sustaining them. Therefore, the quote implies that the ultimate responsibility lies with us, as individuals, for the decline and ineffectiveness of institutions in modern times.

That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity

That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity, is evident from this, that man is then spiritual, and no longer natural, and that the spiritual man, separated from the natural, remains such as he is to eternity, for man's state cannot be changed after death.
