In the high school where I am a staff accompanist, I am saddened by the apathy of students towards learning. To learn, to grow, to delight in the noble and the upright, to be challenged to new perspectives, to wonder in amazement at beauty. . .all are in short supply among the students. When I look at commercials and commercial television I see this same apathy. Possible causes? Pragmatism, consumerism, individualism. . . and others? May the Lord have mercy on us all.
