Lack of commitment - A person without a real identity can hardly understands who he or she is. A person without self-understanding can hardly commit to anything. In the postmodern world, we have no commitment in relationship. We are a generation of no dream. People now find their identities, not so much in themselves, nor in their families, nor in their communies or nation, but in the groups that they belong to.
People call themselves feminists, homosexuals, environmentalists, etc.
Without sharing a common philosophy and language, different interest groups fail to communicate and to work out solutions with each other, the groups turn into hostile camps. The society is segmented. It is this last one I seek to take issue with in the Laptop Letter. This has been the year of klesis. We determined to focus on the calling and our identity that comes from being called by God.
