When the Moral Compass Spins: Why We've Forgotten What Goodness Means
Here's a startling thought: What's worse than a pastor who abandons his family? A church that rewrites its own scriptures to say family abandonment is acceptable. The first is age-old hypocrisy-failing to live up to what you know is right. The second is something far more dangerous: losing the very concept of right and wrong. We're not just struggling to be good anymore; we've forgotten what "good" even means. This isn't melodrama. For the first time in human history, we've developed weapons capable of annihilating our species while simultaneously abandoning the moral framework that might prevent us from using them. Previous generations argued about how to interpret moral laws; we argue about whether moral laws exist at all. Ancient philosophers debated the path to virtue; we debate whether virtue is just a social construct. As poet W.H. Auden put it with chilling clarity: "We must love one another or die." The nuclear age has made virtue not just admirable but necessary for survival.
