role models

Why is it these days we worship performers rather than people who better the world through action? The real Heroes.

Is it we have no time for each other, or that the main medium of consumption for the mind is filled with crap. It's probably most easy to satisfy our need for instant gratification sitting on the comfort of the couch, rather than undergo through the efforts in changing the messiness and the ugliness of most interactions.

How do you shift the attention to thinking of the needs of others?
In the age of self-centred consumption - does family get you there - is being a parent make you focus off from the TV, Internet, devices and all the distractions the age of abundance has given us?
