Young People

Hi. something i read today:

"a great problem that faces us young people today isn't that we do not search for truth, that we do not seek love, or that we have no yearning of virtue. it's that we've been taught that truth is fluid, that love is self-interested and that virtue is but only for heroes. so when we get old enough to go out and look for ourselves, after so much running around, we get discouraged in what we find and give up. we take what's given to us...and then we make more of it.  So if we're given filth, and that's what we know, we'll make more filth.  It'd be one big filthy party and everybody will love it...at least for a little while, until we realize it for what it is, get bored and go home, except that we don't know where to call home. it's like we don't know what it's like to be clean.  we understand what's in front of us, the immediate, isn't everything. we know there's more, but we don't know how to get it. we can feel that desire, nagging to be satisfied; a fire that needs to be fanned ...it's like we're searching for our hearts and we've been given the wrong treasure map.* our treasure will be buried and lost until we are equipped with the tools to find it." 

*Matthew 6:21 - "where your treasure is, there your heart will also be"
