This generation must start<br \/>\nfrom scratch, philosophically and theologically. There are tools that can be<br \/>\nsalvaged, to be sure. But tools are built upon the presumption that they are<br \/>\nworth using, that life is worth the effort. One can tax his brains for only so<br \/>\nlong without reason. He can attempt to shut his eyes and attempt to live out<br \/>\nhis life without vision or purpose. But the barrel of the gun is always so near<br \/>\nand tempting. It is inevitable that unless a new purpose and vision of world<br \/>\nis found, the wheels will slowly grind to a halt. Notice how desperately we<br \/>\nstrive to keep the old myths alive. No matter if they have no substance.<br \/>\nThey have worked in the past&#8230;so patch them up and paint them with<br \/>\npsychedelic colors, and let&#8217;s get on with the work. Even if the reason for<br \/>\nworking is gone. Even if the goals we are working for are lost. Even if we<br \/>\nget richer and richer, yet become more and more miserable and unhappy.<br \/>\n&#8216;We are caught in a crack in time. This generation must start from<br \/>\nscratch. We must act. We must build a future. And only one thing is certain.<br \/>\nWhatever that future might be, we must build it together.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Crack of Time \u00a9 Copyright, Frank W.
