The culture hasn’t gotten shallow. It’s just the part of the culture that’s shouting, vying for attention, and nearly everywhere — that’s the part that can be rather shallow.

Wisdom still exists. Profound questions still exist. Ancient meditations still exist.

But for the most part, we have to seek these things.

It’s hard to shout insight. And headlines are too short to capture what we can learn from thinking deeply.

So don’t lose heart. The good stuff is still all around us. It’s just quieter than the rest.
