I am 60 years old. This is the greatest talk I have ever heard. This so describes me, truth is everything. I am eternally grateful for this. Eternally.
Listening again for the "first time." Listened 2 months ago, not listening again and fully appreciating how information dense Dennis's talks always are -- my brain is processing on a whole new level.
In 1700's America it was common for young men to be encouraged to think & write about what it meant to them to be a man. We should not be surprised that culture produced our Founding Fathers. We still benefit from that generation's self identity. It is time to renew encouraging each of us to think & write about what it means to be an adult.
Great talk. Dennis Prager always makes me think but even more makes me determined too fight for our way of life. I have grown up hearing that America was one of the greatest experiments. My fear is that there Left is going to destroy it. We have to fight all this craziness.
The problem with Canada is the Canadians mindset is The government owns the country and the people therein as opposed to the United States of America ; , Americans Know their country is theirs and the government is merely their employee. Or ,at least it seemed to be that way in the USA, but now ? ? . In the words of Rudyard Kipling " East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet".
"Good intentions pave the path to Hell." Was once so commonly said, it became a cliché. Today, when I say that to the under 50, I almost always get the blank expression of nonrecognition. Not surprising. Most have graduated from a system overvaluing intentions and undervaluing results.
@@JenE3377 "Littered" means the good intentions are dropped on the way to Hell. "Paved" means the good intentions led you Hell. Paved Is the original and the true. Few people have more good intentions than those who believe everyone should be forced to share everything equally with everyone -- the definition of socialism -- and that socialism is a surefire road to Hell as those who don't work are motivated to keep on not working and those who work are punished for out performing. Worse, the ones who supervise -- who decide what it means to share equally like a parent supervising the sharing of candy -- inevitably end up concluding that their greater responsibility requires greater reward than the commoners. Plus, good intentions blind us to evil results. If someone proposes a solution to a problem and then says "You have to break eggs to make an omelet." You can almost always guarantee you are dealing with a solution so focused on the "good intention" the arguments for the Great Goal blinds the listeners to the evil the solution will create. The proposer is blind to the fact he is paving a road to Hell.
Donald Trump was far less interested in a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - a struggle that has outlasted every postwar president.
I believe that Evil grows underneath our feet. As it starts growing, we walk around it and let it grown instead of walking the right path and walking over it.

Dennis has increased such value in my life that I cannot recommend him more to so many as I do!

Dennis removes the Mask of Good Intentions behind which Evil hides.

The road to hell is littered with good intentions. Did you know you can edit your post? Tap on the 3 dots to the right and fix.

Hmm 🤔 👀 not many comments here
Do you make any distinction in this Era between the "left" and liberalism?
I do. I reject the principles of the left wing but belive in American liberalism as a principle.
They are fanatics.
Donald Trump was far less interested in a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - a struggle that has outlasted every postwar president.
When does weakness slip into evil?
I believe that Evil grows underneath our feet. As it starts growing, we walk around it and let it grown instead of walking the right path and walking over it.
When you slip into weakness.
That is to say, humanists who severed theism from our political foundations?
