...because anyone under 65 is a "material child", and they are also desperately seeking validation (not all, but more than most). I wanna be like Mike... or whoever... so I must have what Mike has. How did we become so shallow?
And, how do we build depth of character again? Only by becoming aware of our truth, which usually requires pain.
I do feel pity for humanity, and I hope for a renewal and a wave of virtue, character, integrity, and ethic. In other words... a rebirth in Christ.
When I was a kid I remember celebrities practicing their faith, going to church, charity work, not afraid to mention God or Jesus in interviews. Remember Fr Peyton's rosary included many celebrities like Loretta Young, Ricardo Montalban, Danny Thomas, Grace Kelly, Esther Williams, Perry Como.....
That time is long gone.
Powerful comment. Sobering comparison to today. Thanks for posting.
