Read this

 

The best thing I’ve read in a long time!

The concept of the self has undergone a sea change, as has the practice of self-reliance, civic virtue, moral integrity, national pride, and the commitment to cultural perpetuation. The temptation is to embrace one of two options: unbridled self-indulgence without heed for the past or the future, a kind of, let’s say, bed-and-circuses mentality that has become pervasive in the West; or the emptying out of intellectual and spiritual substance into the amorphous but all-consuming structures of grand collective movements, generally of a utopian nature.

A concise view or the end of our civilization!

    I can see the temptation to resonate with this, but the self is so big and wide that I can’t believe it can be summed up in this tidy paragraph.
