The personal growth movement and our collective success at survival have made us self-sufficient, independent people. Technology has given us a whole new world. We don t need power figures to protect us from war. We can now consult a computer program to do our taxes and our divorces. We can look up answers on-line to our questions about health or any other topic.
Information is everywhere and information is power.
We can solve our own problems. Our choices have increased to the point where we don t need guidance or protection to help us make them. We don t need a hero to rescue us. Not only that, our heroes have fallen. Behind it all, they were just people with human problems.
