I headed into Vancouver yesterday to see my “physiologist”. As I was driving I was mulling over the idea of absolutes and relativism. We live in an era that preaches tolerance and discards responsibility. Today we aren’t able to have an opinion, what we can have are loose associations that don’t offend. There is a growing restlessness among the masses and I for one believe that it is because of a loss of identity. I am not switching gears here. When one has an idea of how the world works they then have an idea of how they fit in the world. When we can’t make sense of the world how can we make sense of ourselves? When we say that there are no absolutes we have no measure in which to work with. I believe this is at the root of the anxiety and restlessness.
Anyway at the end of the day all the physiologist offered were stronger pain meds and told me my posture needs work. The meds haven’t helped yet.
AMEN! I wonder if this has a correlation to adolescents being more depressed than they used to be.
