“Thus the freedom to ‘be one’s self’ was soon held hostage to the views of others, the world of fashion, and the pressure of social trends. And without a clear sense of the self, the ability to deny the self began to weaken. Standards became blurry, and without a religious framework of meaning to give sense to reality, people began to experience a troubling and painful sense of dislocation. They were becoming weightless.” [David Wells, Losing Our Virtue (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1998), p. 99]
