228: When is Enough, Enough? The Malaise of Urgency


Listen Later

Talk Back to Me

All that we know is that we can't keep going on like this. What we don't know is when to make a change, or how.

In his work the Secular Age, Charles Taylor talks about the cross pressures of the era. James K. A. Smith distills this large and technical book into a short, relevant page turner titled "The Secular Age." While the term secular has meant different things at different times, or in different contexts, we live in one where secularism has to do with the mechanism of belief. Authenticity has become the dominant factor in the legitimacy of a belief. With a sense of freedom, it brings a different problem: suicide, individual and cultural.

And that problem is reflected in the malaise of urgency that weighs on the shoulders of so many: we believe there is something that we ought do, but that is also the one thing we cannot do.

And so we find ourselves between the boundaries of fools and cowards.
