The biggest problem in America today? An almost wholesale flight from reality in every area of life. “Reality based FANTASIES” ain’t reality, folks (but try explaining that to roughly 90% of folks nowadays). Flight from reality is, at its base, a result of spiritual emptiness, IMO. All else stems from that. One’s intellect cannot connect with real things if one’s heart is set on what is false.
