A generation shallower and more entitled than any generation in American history is now called upon to become deeper and more compassionate than any in American history. And in that odd, ironic way that history has of making strange and wondrous turns, I think we’re going to.
I can’t disagree with that. I don’t think it’s going to be easy. I think we’ve got a seriously difficult road ahead of us. But cynicism is just an excuse for not helping, and only if we love each other and try to understand each other will we be able to make it through.
