The paradox of our time: Precipitous decline of morality and values in our society

“Goodness without knowledge is weak; knowledge without goodness is dangerous. We have to build a better man before we can build a better society. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing. Our purpose is not to make a living but a life a worthy, well-rounded, useful life. Morality is not a subject; it is a life put to the test in dozens of moments.” said Paul Tillich.
