What happens when the Zeitgeist (the essence of the current times) of our culture becomes the primary mold of our worldview?
Instead of having a strong foundation that will allow for upward growth, our cultural underpinnings are at the mercy of popularity, and we shift with every breeze. You might be tempted to think of this as flexibility. Indeed, skyscrapers are engineered to be so, but their foundations do not move down the block.
We are on floor 237 of this skyscraper of a nation, and we are looking at the floors immediately beneath us as if they are bedrock. And the Jenga tower leans ever precariously.
Where is our foundation? Who will decide? If you leave it up to public sentiment, this nation will topple. If you choose as your foundation timeless truths less finite than your generation, you will grow tall and stand strong. Let's not compromise strength for the sake of the contemporary.
