I consider myself lucky to have grown up in a time in which constant improvement of oneself and one's society was considered not only possible, but a primary moral imperative. I consider myself even luckier not to have had that ideal corroded out of me by a cynical elite culture whose imagination is so skeletally impoverished it can find no higher justification for its existence than just getting by.
My fear? That too many decades of this sort of jaundiced pragmatism will result in a world in which mere survival really is all we can hope for.
