So much that gives meaning to life is dissolved in the quest to gain
money or ‘freedom’. One’s identity is
not grounded in the traditional soil of Church, family, clan, city, region,
nation, empire, and so on but simply in job occupation, leisure activities, and/or
the abstractions of various political constitutions and charters.
This
unhealthy imbalance has seemingly led to another unhealthy imbalance meant to
correct the former: Race is becoming one
of the most important factors in forming one’s identity in the States. Thus, the rise of La Raza, white
nationalists, Black Panthers, etc.
