Upon our culture's transcendental morality

There are so many people out there shouting at us, and we don't have the time any more to reflect properly let along formulate our own answer to the shouting that is entirely solid and decent. Thinking is a great thing to do, though many people nowadays mistake that from the state of absolute rationality that is their cause. Are they mistaken? Yes, they are, because somehow they think that they are so much better than anyone that preceded them and can't point to anything solid and decent to be the actual fundation for what and how they are forcing thought, belief and living to be. Somehow we live in a time where the shouting tell us that there's no more room any more for faith. So what's going on then with the quite normal jumps of thought that we make daily? You are a parent and want to be respected as such by your children. What is your rational for that? Is it heroic materialism or selfish gene-like individualism?

There's an automatic assumption here, though, even though the author may not see his bias. From a lover of Dvotsovesky, Cohen, who put spirituality holy, if we lead ourselves to a place where questions are not allowed, seems to set up what you are complaining about? I'm sorry to say, the pendulum just swings, and swings. We are just in a time of new cultural understandings, new science, new materialism, and I'm sorry to say they don't all relate together, and thus another mystery is created.
