I feel sorry for the young people of today. A lot of them are good kids, but haven’t had the benefit of parents or educators who knew how to raise them.
I worry most about their educations - they’ve never been taught history, philosophy, civics, historical art, the great values of religious teaching, etc. They are wrapped up in shallow pop-culture stuff that doesn’t teach them the values needed to actually live, perceive what is important and what is not, the capacity to overcome difficulty - or the great importance of all of that. Their inner lives seem like desperate deserts, to me.
I know that we fortunately have many who are not that way; but too many who are.
It’s all very sad.
