Is the Future My Responsibility?

Have we become helpless in the face of change or can we manage the future?

More and more people talk about the emptiness of modern life, they wonder where meaning is coming from and what values are shaping us; they say it is not easy being young today in spite of the choices and the freedom.

We cannot assume that if we simply sit back and comment the storm will blow over, or that we will return to the old ways.

The fact is we are experiencing a cultural transformation, we are witnessing the passing of a tradition, the end of an era.

Every day we hear questions like Why aren t they doing something about it? or Who is responsible for this, that or the other? It is time to ask: Have I got any responsibility for the way things are?
