Sadness & Lostness as a Mood; Lacking Meaningful Moral Values

     “this sadness and lostness as a mood … results from the inability of our culture, or certain segments of our culture, to confront the deepest questions about who we are: ‘I get the feeling that a lot of us, privileged Americans, as we enter our early 30s, have to find a way to put away childish things and confront stuff about spirituality and values.’”

     “This is a generation that has an inheritance of absolutely nothing as far as meaningful moral values.” David Foster Wallace 1993
