“The threat is nearly
invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis that
strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will. We can see
this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the
loss of a unity of purpose for our Nation. The erosion of our confidence in the
future is threatening to destroy the social and the political fabric of
America.”
“Human identity is no
longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we've discovered
that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for
meaning. We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness
of lives which have no confidence or purpose."
