Rabbi Daniel LapinDrugs, Nudism, Debt & Porn—The Ghastly Peril of Short Termism 01/09/16
It’s not a coincidence that the freeway overpass collapsed, a broken gas main ignited and a ruptured water main became a geyser. It was the earthquake you slept through. Similarly, we all slept through a gigantic cultural earthquake back 1955—1965. What this colossal cultural upheaval was and how it indoctrinated America to short term thinking. Today’s pleasure is much more compelling than tomorrow’s inevitable pain. Once we recognize the enemy that brought a once-great nation to its knees, we can defeat it and rise again.
