Generation gaps are nothing new.
Imperfect communication between age groups plagued the ancient Greeks and
current works alike.
Many an older worker chafes at an under-30
colleague who surfs the Internet, listens to his Sony Walkman and chats on the
phone or with his desk mate, all while working on a project due in an
hour.
Sometimes, of course, he isn’t corking, and that’s a whole
different issue. But sometimes he is getting lots of great stuff done. In the
meantime, the different work styles create a case of "Would you please shut up"

widespread commercialization of culture, has been cast adrift, without any firm

into a morass of petty bickering and bl

discoveries and achieved undreamed enrichments of the outside of life, that it
has lost touch with the inside of life. It has forgotten the true riches and
beauties of its spiritual inheritance: riches and beauties that go far beyond
our modern chatter about values and ideals. The mind’s search for more breadth
has obscured the heart’s craving for more depth. Once again man has become the
