Enjoyed this take. I think a lot of people, especially your age group, feel the same. We should also be encouraging more service work and civil civic engagement. Respectful, thoughtful discussion.
Faith is what keeps us grounded when the world seems to be blowing up around us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and may you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Interesting perspectives. I would take issue with you statement "In an age of scientific progress, we have the luxury of sometimes forgetting we are biological creatures living in a natural world we do not control." Unfortunately, we do not have that luxury, because, though we do not "control" nature, we do significantly effect and alter nature, and we are finding more and more that even apparently insignificant, tiny changes usually have significant effects on the complex interconnected processes in nature. We "forget" that at our peril.
