Culture

"Our culture is fast moving and complex.  We have a sharp eye for authoritarianism and control in their direct and obvious forms.  We are, in ironic contrast, almost completely blind to the huge control and subtle authoritarianism of consumerist image culture.   On the other hand, we are warriors for the freedom view and on the other hand, simultaneously, are absolute disciples of the God of Quantity.  Our society is addicted to and incessantly nourishes and inflates the spectacular."   John O' Donahue
