Examples

There are times when it seems that we fall victim to the belief that words are substitutes for actions. So many times we lament the behavior of our youth, but never question the way there beliefs were shaped by our hypocrisy. It seems that the condition of the youth can be correlated with the corrupting ideas we have sanctioned with our silence. The sweet embrace of individualism,materialism and narcissism has created a foundation that does not nurture but destroys. It is no wonder that our children seem lost. Their malaise is consumed in the larger apathy that conflicts of us all. However, there is hope and it lies in the resurgence of true examples. Examples, that seek to be motivated by a purpose that cannot be understood through the capitalistic values that provide the context for so much of our world. A purpose connected to rebuilding humanity and revolutionizing the traditional ideas that provide the constructs for normalcy. Change can only occur when we accept the challenge to create new examples.
