I agree with Gomes. I think that the 'younger' generation is far more likely be critical of voices in the media, self-elected experts, and politicians. You can argue of course that this has lead to an increased 'lack of respect'. But reserving the right *not* to respect those in authority and positions of power doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. Infact if anything its a highly desirable characteristic, particularly in times of crisis and scandal when these sorts of traits often prove absolutely essential.

I'm wondering what specific things he's seeing in his students that give him so much hope. I am seeing a generation of young people growing up with a poor work ethic, a lack of interest in Spiritual things who are self centered and only askinng what's in it for me? I'm worried about our young people who I agree have amazing potential, but are lacking true principles to guide them.

Cause and effect is a natural process of life; anything you do in this life will bring you and effect.
But the hope is beyond that. I think sometimes is the mind scape from Uncertainty

Epimetheus believes in Hope.

Prometheus believes in Cause and Effect.

I have faith in cause and effect, hope is a drug I do not need.
