WANTED: the meaning of it all

Megatrends | Part 11 | Thirst for meaning

There is a gasping vacuum where a vital ingredient of cohesion and motivation should be: shared stories about the meaning of our lives and the path to a bright future ahead. The positive and edifying myths of before have largely been eroded, outdated, or discredited, and new ones seem feeble.

Thirst for Meaning is Megatrend 9 of 10! Overview of this series is at the end of this post.

Can you define a good person? A good man? A exemplary father? A great mother? An honorable cornerstone of community?

Do you know what you will say when next asked — probably not quite in these words — what it means to live a good life?

If you hesitate — let alone disclaim your answer — you have experienced this megatrend.
