Our generation is so in touch with all the ideas out there, few of us are able to commit to one and truly embody it. Sure, you could think of this as a problem. Those two interests might be genuine passions for you, but they also seem to conflict. Maybe you're into Buddhism, which preaches detachment from worldly desires, but the problem is, you're also into expensive clothes and cars. If you grew up in a Christian family, you would probably spend the rest of your days believing everything that was in the Bible. Nowadays, you can be a tolerant pacifist who also spends the weekends slaughtering endless racial stereotypes in the latest video game. Years ago, before technology had connected most of the world, men and women were insulated in their own communities, with few outside forces calling their lifestyles into question. Unfortunately, this is not so easy to do, especially for our generation. We have to make sure that while we're here, we live a life dedicated to our values and beliefs. In our lives, we'd like to stand for something.
